A metallic taste in the mouth is a common complaint and can be due to a variety of causes - from medication you may be taking to dental problems.

The taste might be a symptom of gum disease or dental work done in the past can break down and alter taste.

In addition, not drinking enough water can contribute to problems with taste.

Increase your intake and see if it helps. Use a straw or flavor the water with other juice or both. Rinse and spit regularly rinsing with baking soda water... an old filling may be leaking due to infection.


Other causes of metallic taste in the mouth:

Plaque buildup, gingivitis, periodontitis [1], tooth decay and abscesses can produce a bad taste in your mouth.

Also systemic diseases can cause a metallic taste in the mouth, including:

  • hyperparathyroidism[2],
  • Renal or Kidney failure[3],
  • diabetes,
  • Cancer,
  • Sjögren's syndrome[4],
  • sarcoidosis[5],
  • amyloidosis[6],
  • vitamin B-12 deficiency and
  • zinc deficiency.
