According to a new study denture wearers need to be careful of the risk of excess zinc intake.  If you wear denture is is very important that you follow the instructions and recommended dosages on the adhesive product label.

Too often people will overuse the denture adhesive and, although it happens rarely, you can ingest toxic levels of zinc, with adverse neurologic effects.  A single tube should last any where from three to ten weeks with daily use.  Though usage can depend on the number of application per day.   The number one reason why people over use denture adhesive is due to ill fitting dentures.

A dentist can make  sure your denture are adjusted when needed as your mouth continues to change.  Having poorly fitted dentures can force you to use more denture adhesive to try to get the denture to stay in place.  Have your denture fitted and check one every six months.

(There are some dentist that are willing to make house calls when nessary). However having other health issues can make it even more important to see a dentist regularly.

The U.S. Supreme Court has issued an opinion that upholds the Affordable Health Care Act

This includes the individual mandate for coverage.  The case challenged the constitutionality of several parts of the law, including the rule that most people in the U.S. must get health coverage.   We will continue to carry out provisions of the law by thoughtfully implementing the new requirements for customers and members. We will also continue to look for ways to address increasing costs that are crippling our health care system, including: ·      Advancing our partnership with primary care physicians announced earlier this year that we believe will substantially improve quality and member health, and potentially reduce the trend in overall medical costs by as much as 20% by 2015. ·      Coordinating patient care through the use of IBM-Watson technology to promote evidence-based health care and ensure that millions of Americans receive the most effective courses of treatment.  We look forward to continuing our efforts to work with policymakers and other key stakeholders to build a health care delivery system that provides security and affordability to all Americans.
