Bad Taste in Mouth
A persistent bad taste can be a quiet sign of infection or leakage under old restorations.
We'll walk you through how to tell if it's an emergency and what to do today.
Why this happens
Persistent metallic or foul taste may indicate infection, failing fillings, or gum issues.
How we understand it
We check gums, fillings, and X-rays for hidden issues.

When to call sooner: If you have swelling, fever, or trouble sleeping from pain, let us know when you call — we'll prioritize you.
