What Causes The Tartness Taste In Mouth?
Hi, lately (about two weeks now) I've been having this really bad taste in my mouth. It's like a tartness but it's really gross. It tastes almost like the aftertaste of a lemon, but powdered kinda? I try brushing my teeth two/three times a day, I floss, and I use mouthwash but IT JUST WON'T GO AWAY! I tried telling my mom to take me to the doctor but she said it will pass.

Read your query.
Presence of calculus with stains and gum inflammation will be the cause for the tart like taste in your mouth.
I would advice you to visit your dentist periodontist and get your teeth cleaned ,followed by proper brushing and maintaining your teeth well.
Use chlorhexidine mouth wash for a while .
Thanks and regards.
