Metallic taste: First check with your dentist to make sure there are no untreated dental problems such as decay, broken fillings, periodontal (gum) disease. Then check with your physician for any medical problems, and side effects of any medications or supplements that you are taking. Finally, check to see if there have been any changes in your diet.

Side effect? : It's hard to get rid of a metallic taste in your mouth-instead try to determine why it's there. Antibiotics, antifungals, thyroid meds, high blood pressure meds and lithium are known for creating metallic taste in mouth. Contact your pharmacist or doctor. If you are being treated for periodontal disease as using Peridex (chlorhexidine gluconate) try drinking orange juice. If it continues see you doctor to rule out illness.
