Hi! i had a teeth clean today and immediately after he cleaned my teeth, i tasted a strong, metallic (to almost rusty) taste. is this normal?

Blood: Your gums may be bleeding a bit after your cleaning, which is, after all, a limited surgical procedure. Blood can have a coppery taste. If it persists for more than a few days, call you Dentist for reexamination.
