Are you taking supplemental iodine. Iodine intake can cause metallic taste in the mouth. Visit this site for information on this topic and additional causes of metallic taste: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/8-possible-causes-for-that-metallic-taste-in-your-mouth/ Wish you good health!

Metallic taste often caused by bleeding. You report "deep cleaning." That's a step in the right direction. But ifnyour gums become inflamed from not flossing or using WaterPik DAILY, and/or from not brushing 2 full minutes by the clock twice daily, gingival bleeding can recurr. "See your General Dentist or a specialist Periodontist.
