What Causes Brown Staining Of Teeth And Bad Taste In Mouth?
Hi. I was living in a damp room (botched garage conversion) for around a year and have developed a terrible taste in my mouth along with the occasional shortness of breath. I've had a chest x-ray and it's came back fine but am on a waiting list to be able to see a dentist. This taste has been around for around 8-9months now it's affecting my life. It's often bitter, almost sourish but at night can be quite creamy, almost as if i've just drunk a pint of milk. My teeth have gone from very white to stained brown with darker brown blotches in a matter of months. I don't know what to do because i'm getting no answers off my doctors. Please offer some suggestions, thanks in advance for any offered help.

Hi
In regard to your query, first of you are staying in a garage where you see lots of dust with different metals exposure so only you might have had this shortness of breath and terrible taste. If you mean bad breath then it could be of many reasons like systemic or oral health causes. Usually when a aperson has any lung problems like emphysema, pleural abscess, diabeties, kidney diseases and liver diseases will also result in bad breath. poor oral hygiene with adverse habits like tobacco chewing or smoking also results in bad breath.I would suggest you to explain about the place where you live along with the type of work you do and what sort of materials one can expect where you live when you meet your physcian and dentist.Hope this helps you
