Zinc poisoning?

Dear Silvia:

I am looking for a dental cream that is called RENEW.  Also, I am looking into therapies for zinc poisoning.

Dear Jeanie:

You can find ReNew™ Toothpaste at Smartpractice.com. It has to be bought by a person who has a professional license.

If Zinc poisoning is acute, after the ingestion of at least 4 grs of Zinc, you should consult a medical doctor. If you're talking about chronic zinc consumption that exceeds the desired limits, it seems that all that's necessary is to stop consuming zinc. The body will utilize the extra amounts and will go no normal levels in a few weeks. ZInc is used by the body to build a number of enzymes.It will still be desirable to consult a toxicologist.

Thanks for contacting us.
