Are your denture cleansers making you sick?

By Jamie Sheller

The FDA recently issued a warning to patients and dentist alike, that some denture cleansers are causing severe reactions in consumers. http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/safety/2008/safety08.htm#Denture Apparently, the ingredient persulfate, that helps with the bleaching and cleansing process, is known to cause allergic reactions. These allergic reactions include irritation, tissue damage, rash, hives, gum tenderness, breathing problems, and low blood pressure. Some people who unknowingly misused the product by gargling it, swallowing or chewing the cleansers, experienced even worse reactions. There was even a report of one death.
