Some believe the information is misleading and could even lead to more problems. Zinc in denture creams has been linked with an array of neurological issues, such as neuropathy, copper depletion, and other serious neurological effects.
The new Super PoliGrip package insert also cautions users to talk with their doctor if they use zinc supplements, warning that excessive amounts of the adhesive over a long period of time could result in “serious health effects.”
Ingesting even small amounts of Super Poligrip has been found to be harmful; people who used normal amounts of Super Poligrip, and who swallowed small amounts of the product, suffered from zinc poisoning and neurological problems.

Fluoridation has not reduced tooth decay and has not reduced dental costs

Despite 60+ years of water fluoridation, Americans are spending more than ever on dental care. “between 1998 and 2008 the increase in the cost of dental services exceeded that of medical care and far exceeded the overall rate of inflation,” according to Slate Magazine. Americans paid 44.2 percent of dental bills themselves compared to 10.3 percent of physician costs, Slate reports.

More fluoride = more money for dentists?

Dentists' Nominal Net Income for 2000 was $533,000 up from $141,000 in 1982, according to the American Dental Association Survey published in the March 2005 Journal of the American Dental Association. During the same time period, the number of Americans living in fluoridated communites went from 116 million to 172 million.

The Centers for Disease Control reports that fluoride-overdose symptoms have increased also – with up to 48% of US school children sporting dental fluorosis – white spotted, yellow, brown and/or pitted teeth.
