What causes a metallic taste in mouth?
Metallic taste in mouth is also known as dysgeusia where the taste is like you have a piece of metal in your mouth when you aren’t eating anything at all. There are several things that could cause the metallic taste such as copper toxicity, fluctuations of estrogen levels, lead poisoning, medication in prenatal vitamins or antibiotics, poor oral hygiene or mercury poisoning. To lessen the metallic taste in mouth you could try to brush your tongue or rinse your mouth with saltwater.
