Call: call the Dentist or Dental Specialist who did your surgery. That's the person who knows your situation best. Post-surgical evaluation may be in order. Also note that lots of things, not related to your surgery, can result in "metal;ic taste."

Extraction of #15: Soreness and a bad taste is not abnormal after an extraction. For any questions or discomfort, call the dentist who extracted your tooth. Your dentist is the one who is familiar with any issues involving the procedure.
