Temporary Dysgeusia: or transitory decrease in taste function for the tongue or the palate is very common after a dental treatment.

Yes: It is very common especially if it is a metal filling. You can get a galvanic effect activity giving off a metallic taste. These are several good answers to your question. They will normally pass with time.
