[|Human|] 24 years old, healthy, active female. BMI normal. I ve been starting to have a salty feeling in my mouth which started about a week ago. It s presence is constant. I think that the saliva I secrete might be salty. It never does away even after brushing my teeth or chewing gum. I think that it may be caused by my diet but am not sure. I eat grains for lunch with vegetables and a protein for dinner with vegetables. In between I eat fruit and yogurt as snacks. I eat two eggs for breakfast with some salt added (but that is the only time I use salt). I think that I might be ingesting too much sodium. The vegetables I eat always come from cans. The only fresh thing that I eat apart from fruits (apples and bananas) are cherry tomatoes in my main meals. Recently, a cavity filling fell out of one of my molars leaving a big hole there. I try to clean it properly since I cannot get to a dentist where I currently am and will only be able to see one come May. Luckily, there s no pain or sensitivity. What could be the cause of this salty saliva?
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome, The salty taste in mouth can be due to-Altered salivary secretion. Impacted wisdom tooth. Regressive changes in tooth. Sinus infections. I would suggest you to get a thorough examination by a dentist. Thorough scaling is advice. Decayed teeth have to be restored soon to prevent progression of caries in exposed cavity. Take complete course of medicines too. Take balanced diet and plenty of fluid has to be taken. Hope this helps.
