Fixodent Side Effects

Fixodent and several other popular brands of denture cream have recently been linked to serious and potentially life-threatening side effects caused by excess zinc contained in the denture creams. Although a small amount of the mineral zinc is necessary for a healthy diet, zinc is toxic when ingested in large amounts. Fixodent side effects from zinc overdose may include:

  • zinc poisoning
  • copper depletion
  • neuropathy
  • other neurological side effects

  • numbness in the hands and feet
  • pain and/or tingling in the extremities
  • loss of ability to move legs, feet, arms, or hands
  • poor balance
  • decrease in walking stride

Treating Fixodent Side Effects

Treatment of Fixodent side effects will probably require switching to a brand of denture cream that doesn’t contain zinc. For patients with copper deficiency, a doctor may prescribe copper supplements. Patients with neuropathy may be prescribed pain relievers, antidepressants, and/or anti-seizure medications.
