I have a metallic taste in my mouth, what could be the cause of this?

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011
Q.

I have had a metallic taste on the front of my tongue and a dry upper pallette since Early Dec 2010. I can alleviate this during the day by chewing gum, but can’t do this at night when I need to sleep.. I suffer from recurring sore throats but don’t currently have one. My GP has reviewed my blood tests and they all came back normal. I did have a root canal work done in Oct 2010 and finished it off with a crown on Nov 2010. The crown is ceramic. A seperate dentist told me that there was nothing wrong with the work done. Where do I go from here

My crown has been filed away and there is a gap between gum and tooth, is this normal?

Monday, March 14th, 2011
Q.

My gold crown was filed down in the top centre of the tooth to make it fit better. The gold has been filed away leaving what looks like the cement or the filling (I had root canal). Is the crown still effective after its been filed (drilled) away like this please?

Also the crown does not meet the gum – ie i can feel a slight gap with my tongue. Is this normal?

My teeth are loose because of gum disease, what should I do to replace them?

Monday, March 14th, 2011
Q.

Hi, I have gum disease but mostly in the front bottom whereby one tooth is very loose and apparently the gum has gone leaving the tooth with no support, the next tooth is also leaning due to limited support, therefore both teeth will have to be removed, would you recommend a bridge for the loose tooth or have the two done together with permenant teeth, thanks
