Denture Cream Consumer Alert
The consumer alert targeted 35 million Americans who use denture creams containing zinc.
1. Use only 3 to 4 dime-sized dots on your denture at one time.
2. Do not overfill your denture. You are using too much cream if it oozes out of your denture.
3. Do not use denture cream overnight.
4. If your denture does not fit properly, have it relined or get a new one.
Long exposure to too much denture cream means high doses of zinc in your body. High levels of zinc in your body drive down the natural amount of copper in your body, which can adversely affect your spine, which may put you in a wheelchair.
Super Polygrip, owned by Glaxo Smith Klein, and Fixodent, owned by Proctor & Gamble, were specifically mentioned.
Do you think that if a company does not list the ingredients in a product, it has something to hide?
Keep smiling.

“Got Teeth? A Survivor’s Guide” Testimonial
“I was blessed! I read Got Teeth? at the very time I was awaiting surgery to remove my natural teeth!
If it were not for Saundra and her keen wisdom about adapting to change, I would have gone in blind because NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT. Armed with this knowledge and knowing which questions to ask made all the difference in the world.
I recommend this book to anyone facing dental trauma, or especially if someone you love is dealing with it.” Linda S.
My hope is to be as much help to others as I was to Linda.
It’s all connected.
