Latest Injuryboard.com Personal Injury Updates for South Carolina Fixodent http://www.injuryboard.com/blogs/south-carolina/tag/Fixodent/ <p> </p> <p>As the saying goes, you are never fully dressed without a smile. For years Poligrip and Fixodent have helped those with dental work such as dentures and bridges keep their teeth in place. Users with difficult fitting dentures have stood by these products and used them several times per day. Although denture cream is placed in your mouth and may potentially be swallowed or absorbed into the blood stream, the FDA classifies denture cream as a Class 1 low risk dental device, meaning Poligrip and Fixodent were not even required to advise you as to what is in the cream. Denture cream users are now faced with the reality that denture cream products contain zinc and may lead to problems including:</p> <p> </p> <p>* Paralysis</p> <p>* Numbness</p> <p>* Loss of Sensation</p> <p>* Tingling in the Hands or Feet</p> <p>* Muscle Weakness</p> <p>* Unexplained Pain</p> <p> </p> <p>The zinc poisoning caused by Poligrip and Fixodent can cause permanent injury if it is not diagnosed early and treated. Several lawsuits have already been filed claiming that Poligrip and Fixodent should have tested these creams and warned consumers that they are dangerous.</p> <p> </p> <p>Are you a denture cream user who has unexplained symptoms?
