AM Bad Taste Causes: A bad taste in the AM may be caused by many different factors, such as; mouth breathing, post nasal drip, sinus issues, acid reflux, decreased salivary flow, certain medications, and a variety of medical concerns. It's important to determine the underlying factor causing this bad taste in order to treat it and relieve your symptoms. Your dentist and/or physician can help to determine the cause.

Good morning Dentists. Could blood in saliva/phlegm be related to or from bleeding gums? Is there any connection to dry mouth? Other than brushing and waterpic, would you be able to offer suggestions as to cause of blood in saliva at night treatment?
