Why do i taste blood every time i eat something? when i check my mouth there is no signs of blood or cuts and my gums are fine.

Gingivitis: tasting blood while eating can be a sign that you 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 professionally by a dentist. The good news is that this condition is curable. Call your dentist today!
