If you are not like 98% of the adult population with "silver" dental fillings, that tinny taste is a mystery. For the 98%, the answer is mercury, silver, copper, tin, and other trace metals leaching from your dental fillings. This may come as a surprise, but "silver fillings" are 50% mercury, a toxic heavy metal, and at most 35% silver.
If you can taste it, you can probably also see it. Your gums near the teeth with the fillings will often be blackened. If you have crowns over the top of "silver" fillings, look at the gum tissues at the bottom edge of the crown. These almost always produce darkened gums.

Could be thrush which is a yeast infection of the mouth. Certain medications such as antibiotics cause it as does high sugar or high carb diets. Diabetics are also prone to it. If its really bad and you have a coating on tongue go to dr. If its mild get one of those plastic tongue scrapers and use it after you brush your teeth. Another at home treatment for thrush is to sprinkle the contents of a probiotic supplement on the tongue and hold it there as long as you can.

Oh, thats interesting, because I have had that for quite awhile now, a really metallic taste on my teeth. Someone mentioned iron, and I have been taking iron supplements, so I wonder if that is it? Hmmm. Would be nice to get rid of it.

It could be due to acid reflux. Check with your local dentist and family doctor.

Could be blood?
There's probably a better aswer, though, about lack of nutrition.

Some medicines do that. Are you on any medications? ( Especially vitamins with iron.)
