You need a little zinc in your diet, but too much can poison you. If you use Fixodent, and experience numbness, tingling, or weakness in your arms or legs, or balance or movement problems, your denture cream may be poisoning you. Most people who use denture creams like Fixodent and Poligrip don't know they contain zinc, let alone the health problems they can cause. Even swallowing small amounts of Fixodent over a long period of time may eventually make you sick. This issue is only making news now. Lots of lawsuits have been filed.

Too often the ingredients contain harmful substances as well. The individual is better off, IMO, armed with good dental hygiene habits, a toothbrush and a lifetime supply of dental floss.
