RCT Taste/smell: If this smell/taste is right after rct (root canal therapy), and it is from the sedative filling placed, this will quickly decrease over time. Sedative filling used after rct typically smells like clove. If your rct was not recently done, or you think the smell ; taste is not just from the new filling, please check back with the dentist. This may indicates some leakage or re-infection.
