Denture wearers who suffer from neuropathy have recently looked at filing a Fixodent lawsuit after finding out they have zinc poisoning. Many people who have used Fixodent denture cream over an extended period of time and have developed neurological problems may not know that zinc has been included as one of the Fixodent ingredients. An excessive amount of zinc can cause a copper deficiency in the body. Copper deficiency is known to cause neurological disorders including neuropathy.

It has recently been reported that denture adhesive creams such as Fixodent and Poligrip have been linked to dangerous side effects including neuropathy. Many denture adhesive products contain zinc as an ingredient even though most consumers had no way of knowing what any of the ingredients were since they often are not listed on the packaging.

An August 2008 study published in the journal Neurology reported on several patients who were diagnosed with neuropathy and had suffered from zinc poisoning linked to their use of denture cream. The researchers found that the patients in the study all used at least two tubes of denture cream a week. Often, people with poorly fitting dentures use a large amount of denture cream. This puts them at an even higher risk of a zinc overdose which can lead to zinc Fixodent side effects including neurological disorders.
