    Ow! That looks like it hurts!

    Yesterday I saw a lady who used a denture adhesive to keep in her lower dentures. What a mess her gums where, it was excruciating for her to talk or swallow. I felt so bad for her. They looked swollen, raw and burnt.

    In researching what could have caused such a reaction so I could figure something to help her, I found an article on how long term or excessive use of these creams can cause a host of problems.

    Because they are often high in zinc they can rob copper out of the body, leading to neurological problems, cognitive decline (senility), even been associated with urinary incontinence.

    Why is this happening to me?

    We are just being bombarded with chemicals. So other than spit our teeth across the room when we talk, what do we do?

    Getting new dentures when your gums shrink might be expensive, but probably is best.

    If you can’t afford that there are liners, and natural vegetable adhesives which are so much safer than their chemical counterparts.

    Avoid the problem!

    Protecting the health of your teeth and trying to keep them is THE best suggestion. We have listed a tooth paste which helps protect the tooth and gums. The results reported are quite remarkable.

    All the chemicals we are exposed to combine to make new compounds. Even a slight mixture can be significant. No wonder so many people are becoming sensitive to their environment.

    EnviroDetox, helps encourage the body to throw off these chemicals which can be helpful. But I believe avoid as much as you can.

    Do any of you readers have a great toothpaste that you use? Comment and tell us about it!
