Hi Bryanna.

I believe there is at least one zinc-free product that can be used. We are fairly sure that "Fixodent Free" does not contain zinc. Because denture cream products are officialy "Class I medical device[s]," the requirements for reporting the exact ingredients in them are lesser than the requirements are for reporting the ingredients (for just one example) in toothpaste. Makes perfect sense . . . right?!?

Also, I am not completely sure about "Sea-Bond." But I have no indication that that Sea-Bond does contain zinc.

Until the exact ingredients of all of these products are provided by the manufacturers, there will be no answer that you can really feel safe about. And that is frustrating. But rest assured that these facts and many others will shortly be provided via litigation.

In the meantime, anyone who uses these products should discuss zinc toxicity and neuropathy with their doctors. There are simple blood and urine tests that can determine the levels of zinc and copper in one's body. If you have further questions, please contact me, I'd be glad to discuss this with you.
