First of all this has nothing to do with your brushing o not brushing your teeth, although "if" you are not brushing and flossing normally as recommended by your dentist you can be making matters worse. There are many things it can be and they are as followed: It can be filling, do you have your tongue pierced? If yes, it can be that if you don't clean it reguarly, in woman that can be one of the signs of pregnancy, in diabetes patients it can be a sign of high or low sugar levels.
BUT MOST LIKELYTHE PROBLEM IS:
If your fillings are silver. For 98% of the adult population with silver dental fillings end up with the side effect of a metallic taste in their mouth. Reason being is because the silver is not 100% silver, suprisingly to most people who already know this it really only contains 35% silver and it contains mercury, copper, tin, and other traces of metals. They leach from your fillings. The mercury carries 50% mercury which is a heavy toxic metal. In cases such as yours you will be able to see damage if you look at the gums where your fillings are. Your fillings have probably blackened. If you have a crown over your fillings then you are going to be able to see that your gum tissue has darkened where the fillings and crowns are. The American Dental Association has found out that throughout the decades that the mercury is very poisonous. The reason for all of this is that mercury causes corrosion, your teeth can fall out, and will then require replacement. SORRY TO SAY BUT YOU ARE PROBABLY POLLUTED WITH MERCURY MY FRIEND! In these cases where the metal ends up being very toxic metal, it stresses your health. Sometimes only for some amount of time, and sometimes when the case is severe, it can be permanant. Detoxifying and eliminating dental mercury consumes glutathione along with other nutritional resources that your body requires to function your immune system, energy metabolism and resist the aging proccess. The body also stores mercury in the tissues of the brain as well as other vital organs. Noone knows for sure how the toxic metal can contribute to alzheimers and other degenerative conditions. The most damaging is the devestating effect dental mercury has on specific human blood cells. Dental mercury (silve) can cause major and very serious to those who have thes fillings or crowns. The best thing to do in order to live your liife safely and healthy would be to get it removed. Then once it is determined that mercury form body tissues and vital organs which is done slowly. The treatment is the body would begin its own detoxification proccess. Definately see your dentist, also there are products that are sold to help the detoxification proccess and one is DEFENSE, REPLENISH, AND GLUTHIONE PRECURSER PRODUCTS.

Answer 3

A metallic taste in the mouth is a fairly common problem — and usually not serious. Although you don't have actual taste buds that detect metals, the perception of the taste is described as "metallic."

A metallic taste can be due to many factors. But the most common causes of a metallic taste are:

Medications such as some antibiotics, prenatal vitamins and antidepressants, as well as drugs used to treat high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis and kidney stones
Oral problems, including oral infections such as gingivitis or periodontitis, tooth infections, and poor oral hygiene
Sometimes the cause of a metallic taste can't be determined. In many cases, the problem goes away on its own after several months or longer. Proper oral hygiene can help, including regularly brushing your teeth and brushing and scraping your tongue. Done properly, dental restorations — such as fillings and inlays — are rarely the cause a metallic taste.

I know there is an antibiotic that is prescribed for h. pylori (the bacteria that causes stomach ulcers) that can cause a metallic taste in the mouth; like you are gargling with pennies or something. But yes, fillings, especially new ones, can cause a metallic taste, but it usually goes away after a month or so.

Answer 5

YES. I had this horrendous thing a few years ago ..... it tasted like I was sucking paracetamol all the time.I went to my dentist and he checked the tooth and even though he couldn't find anything really wrong with the filling ,he removed it and put in a new one but that was still the same so he ended up putting a "White "non- amalgam filling instead because he said that particular tooth had rejected amalgam fillings. That was 15 years ago and I have had no trouble whatsoever since. All this is worth you remembering.
