Denture Cream Injuries
Zinc-containing denture creams are not harmful if used in small, recommended amounts, and most people only use one tube every three to ten weeks. However, patients with poorly-fitting dentures may use up to one tube per week, which can cause zinc to build up in the body over time and can lead to a copper deficiency. Injuries related to copper deficiency may include:
- Dizziness, fatigue, and weakness
- Nausea and vomiting
- Hair loss, paleness, skin sores, and anemia
- Abdominal pain and diarrhea
- Numbness in the limbs
- Difficulty breathing
Copper deficiencies can cause serious harm to your immune system as well as to your cardiovascular system. If you suspect that you or a loved one is suffering from copper deficiency after using zinc-containing denture cream, it is important to seek medical attention immediately to ensure that further problems do not develop.
