Gingivitis: Bloody taste can be a sign that you are at risk for, or already have, gum disease. The bacteria and other particles, constantly form a sticky, colorless toxic “plaque” on teeth causing the gums to become inflamed and to easily bleed. This is a serious problem, which should be checked by a dentist. The good news is that this condition is curable. Call your dentist today!

Bloody taste: May be due to acid reflux or other medical problems. May be due to infected teeth or gums. And there are so many other possibilities. Please see your General Physician...referral to Gastroenterologist may be in order. See your General Dentist...referral to a Periodontist may be in order. Something's wrong, go find out what and get appropriate treatment.
