Wisdom tooth healing: the bad taste in your mouth could be from a few different things. The healing blood clot typically has a taste. Food debris trapped in the extraction site will de this. You did not say how long ago your extraction was and if you have other symptoms. Follow the post op instruction ns you were given. Call the extracting dentist about your concerns and questions.

Very common: after wisdom tooth surgery. A bad taste in your mouth can be removed with saltwater rinsing and proper oral hygiene. Take care.
