Not possible to diagnose without exam. Best not to take it again and see an ENT MD. Amoxicillin causing this is very rare.

Some dental procedures can cause altered taste. Side effects from certain medications or treatments and even deficiencies in some minerals or vitamins can cause dysgeusia. Pregnancy and in rare cases some liver disease or other can cause this.
