A member asked:
I am experiencing foil feeling on tooth after amalgam removal ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Amalgam taste: Was a new amalgam filling used to replace the old one? Some patients experience what you describe when new amalgams are placed due to a temporary galvanic response. I guess one might have the same sensation when an old amalgam is cut into and removed. It should subside in a short time.
