See your dentist: A bad taste in your mouth could be a sign of gum disease, dental decay, or some other type of oral infection. It could also be a dental problem, or even a neurologic issue. Start by seeing your dentist who will do a thorough examination and give you some suggestions. He/she may also want to include a physician as well. Call today!

See your dentist: Bitter taste can occur for a variety of reasons. Some are benign others may be significant. I suggest you begin with a visit to your local dentist to rule out a dental origin. If this fails consult your md for a comprehensive medical exam. Good luck.

See your dentist: It sounds like one of your dental restorations is leaking. If you have a crown / cap and it has come loose you will experience intermittent bad tastes.
