A calculation is presented of the plasmon and photon damping rates in a dense nonrelativistic plasma at zero temperature, following the resummation program of Braaten-Pisarski. At small soft momentum $k$, the damping is dominated by $3 \to 2$ scattering processes corresponding to double longitudinal Landau damping. The dampings are proportional to $(\alpha/v_{F})^{3/2} k^2/m$, where $v_{F}$ is the Fermi velocity.
