what causes a metallic taste in your mouth
Gum disease is a very common condition where the gums become swollen, sore or infected. The gums tend to bleed after you brush or floss your teeth, and the blood in your mouth causes the metallic taste. If left untreated, the tissues and bone that support the teeth can also become affected (known as periodontitis).
Some pregnant women experience a metallic taste in their mouth during the early stages of pregnancy, because of the hormone changes. It's also fairly common to crave certain foods, or go off certain foods, and have a heightened sense of smell.
