Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query,
Have noted all your details,
There are two possibilities-
1) It can be of reflux esophagitis overlapped with mild gastritis.Stomach acid regurgitated into the mouth produces a bad taste described as an acid or metallic taste.
2)Recent visit to dentist is supportive of a possible infection of the tonsils or one of the major salivary glands or pharynx,Responsible for bad taste.
Intially i would suggest you to go for swab routine and microscopy test of saliva followed by culture and sensitivity.This will help us to know whether bacterial infection is there or not,And to which antibiotic is bacteria sensitive.
Treatment with antibiotic therapy could be started after the results of swab cultures.
In case of any other professional query feel free to question.
Regards.
