What Causes Bad Taste In Mouth Post Dental Crown Procedure?

Posted on Mon, 8 Sep 2014

Question: I had a crown put on a tooth recently and have had problems with it hurting. Now I have a bad taste in my mouth but the dds says there's nothing wrong . I also have nosebleeds most mornings. I take ibuprofen pm every night for arthritus pain and inflamation. I have quit taking all of my vitamins and supplements to see if that is why I have the bad taste and have stopped wearing lipstick, but still have the bad taste.
Do you have any answers?

Brief Answer:
Bad taste can be due to medications & bad hygiene

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for writing in.

As per your history you are currently on medications which might cause bad taste. You should include green leafy vegetables in your diet.
Moreover you mentioned regarding crown that is hurting.So you need to get it examined as there might be some food lodgement beneath crown which might cause bad hygiene & bad taste.
Consult your dentist for further treatment plan.

Hope I answered your query

Wishing you good health
