What You May Not Know About Denture Cream Neuropathy and Zinc Poisoning
Super Poligrip and Fixodent Denture Cream adhesives may cause Zinc Poisoning and what is coming to be known as Denture Cream Neuropathy. In general, Denture Cream Neuropathy symptoms begin with lack of sensation, and prickling in the toes or fingers that extends to the feet and hands, causing a burning sensation and severe pain, which is particularly acute at night time.
The most common type of Denture Cream Neuropathy is Peripheral Neuropathy. This type of Neuropathy damages the nerves of the limbs, especially the feet., and Peripheral Neuropathy pain is usually symmetrical, meaning one would have the pain on both sides of the body - on both feet and both hands, for example.
Common Symptoms of Denture Cream Neuropathy and Zinc Poisoning:
• Numbness or insensitivity to pain or temperature
• Numbness, tingling, burning or prickling sensation in feet, legs, hands or arms
• Change or decrease in walking stride
• Tendency to stumble or fall down
• Extreme sensitivity to pain and touch, even light touch
• Unexplained muscle weakness or pain in the extremities
• Loss of balance and coordination, or instability
• Reduced ability to perspire
• Abnormal blood pressure and heart rate
• Bowel and bladder dysfunction
As noted above, Denture Cream Neuropathy symptoms are often worse at night.
How Do I Find Out If I Have Zinc Poisoning and Denture Cream Neuropathy?
Make an appointment with your local healthcare professional right away to have your blood tested for Zinc and Copper levels. These simple blood tests will quickly determine if you suffer from high levels of Zinc in your body. If not detected early and then treated, the effects of Zinc poisoning and Denture Cream Neuropathy may be permanent.
Denture Cream Neuropathy and Zinc Poisoning Is Often Misdiagnosed as a Demyelinating Disease
Zinc poisoning or Denture Cream Neuropathy can lead to conditions called paresthesias and dysesthesias. Paresthesias is a feeling of numbness, tingling, pinching, sharp deep stabs, electric shocks or buzzing in the arms and legs. Dysesthesias is unpleasant sensations when touching.
