Why have i got a metalic taste in my mouth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Medication?: Often medications along with acidic saliva can create a metallic taste. If you're taking a medication, try rinsing your mouth first with warm water with 1teaspoon baking soda mixed in. This rinse will neutralize acid mouth and could reduce or eliminate the metallic taste. If you have silver/mercury fillings, same thing can occur. Try the rinse. If not successful, see your physician.
