What causes the bad/metallic taste in mouth after brushing with 'sensitive-type' toothpaste?

Metal fillings : Metal fililngs or metals in crowns can cause this. Ask your dentist if replacing the small silver fillings in your mouth with white ones is advisable. Larger filings may need to be replaced with crowns there are crowns that do not have metal in them.

Zinc!: The active ingredient is sensitive toothpastes is zinc, which, if used chronically, can cause that metallic taste on the tongue. They will all do that since they have the same amount of zinc in them. Try brushing your tongue after rinsing the toothpaste out and using an alcohol-free mouthwash (the alcohol can cause the metallic taste to increase) like crest pro health or biotene pdf.

Toothpaste?: The metallic taste in the mouth is a sign of failing restoration or accumulation of heavy metal compounds on the surf. Of the tongue. There are other reasons of having taste deviation due to medications taken or other possible GI conditions. Toothpaste most probably activates your taste buds to the point of feeling it much more.
