Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query her My boyfriend says there's a smell like metal on my breath. He says it's not good or bad, just present. What could this be? Possible theories: I drink wine, eat a lot of spicy food, and in the last year no longer eat meat of any variety. Can this be a cause?
Metallic odour from mouth is usually due to periodontal disease ( infection of the gums surrounding the teeth). Oral prophylaxis by a dental professional along with use of mouth washes and maintaining good oral hygeine should resolve this issue. Hope thus answers your question.
