New Jersey Denture Cream Injury Lawyers

Millions of people across the U.S. use various brands of denture cream each day. Some of these creams contain the chemical zinc, which can be harmful if ingested in large volumes. Sadly, some denture patients, especially those will ill-fitting dentures, have found themselves facing serious neurological and blood disorders after using certain types of zinc-containing denture creams.

If you or someone you know has suffered a serious medical condition after using dental cream that contains zinc, you may be able to take legal action against the party responsible to help cover the costs of your injuries and other losses. Contact a New Jersey personal injury attorney from Levinson Axelrod, P.A. at 800-346-5529 to discuss your legal options.

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.
