A member asked:
What causes a bitter taste to linger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Healthy taste buds +: How long is lingering? If it's just minutes or perhaps an hour, you have good healthy taste buds. If it's days or longer, see a dentist and perhaps a physician. Common causes of a bitter taste in the mouth include acid reflux, taking certain medications, poor oral hygiene, or perhaps a sign of an infection that requires immediate treatment. See your dentist for an evaluation.
