• Fixodent: Can Excessive Use of Popular Denture Cream Cause Nerve Damage?

Mark Jacoby had no idea why his body was failing. Symptoms appeared gradually, said the 41-year-old former construction worker from York, Pa.

“I started getting tingling in my fingertips. And then it started happening in my toes,” he told ABC News’ 20/20 anchor Chris Cuomo, who is the Chief of the Law & Justice Unit. “I started getting weaker and, you know, I couldn’t walk right, off balance and I’m at this point now.”

Jacoby, who now uses a wheelchair, said his doctors searched for years for the cause of his debilitating neurological illness that robbed him of his independence.

Doctors eventually tied his disorder to high levels of the mineral zinc in his body. Jacoby, who has worn dentures for 20 years, said it came from his denture cream, Fixodent, which contains zinc.

“I can almost guarantee you it was the Fixodent,” said Jacoby. “It’s soaked into your body and it messes with the nerves.”
