Brief Answer:
Dental cream will not build up in throat or stomach
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic
Polygrip dental cream will not cause build up in the throat or stomach.
It will be eliminated from the body through fecal matter.
However, make sure that the product you are using does not contain zinc. Some dental adhesive creams contain Zinc which can cause peripheral neuropathy.
Please be advised to follow up as scheduled for endoscopic evaluation and biopsy of esophageal mass.
