What is the cause of salt or blood taste in my mouth?

Gingivitis: Is a very common periodontal (gum) disease that causes bleeding, redness and swelling of your gums. You may not have pain and be aware that you have the disease, but you should address this issue seriously. It can lead to advanced gum disease and tooth loss if untreated. Rec.: see your dentist asap.
