A member asked:

What can cause a constant salty taste in mouth? my gp has no answer

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Salty taste: For full evaluation I recommend a careful exam of your teeth and gums as well as an examination by an otolayngologist or oral surgeon if there are no dental or gum pathologies.
