A member asked:
For 4 weeks now i have had a metallic, salt taste in my mouth and noticed black along my gum line below my bridge. there is no pain. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Taste/discoloration: You may have a localized gum infection, or a collection of tarter under your gum margins. Bridges require more scrupulous cleaning than just a few passes with a toothbrush. Return to your Dentist for an examination to determine the cause of your signs and symptoms, and then administration of the appropriate treatment. The sooner you see your Dentist, the sooner your problem can bed resolved.
