Any metalic restorat: Please consult your dentist and look for metalic restoration. Also your home care if not optimum, flossing, etc can also increase or chane salivary composition and ph level. Acidic medium can enhance your problem. I would also look for airway and sleep problem along with your posture. Mouth breathing and dry mouth along with structural jaw problem all these factors collectively leads to different.

2 separate condition: 1. Dysgeusia is a change in your sense of taste due to a variety of causes; from anxiety to dental problems and treatments. 2. TMJ disorder. See Orofacial Pain practitioner for proper diagnosis and treatment. Take care.

Need examination: Hard to say by the information provided. Need complete exam by TMJ-orafacial pain doc. Any dentist can be a TMJ orofacial expert with the proper training and experience. Most commonly, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and orofacial pain specialists. Ask your MD, your dentist and your dental society for referrals.
