Hey guys, I recently started using a new toothpaste from the dentist. I have not had any issues like this before using it. I went to the dentist 5 days ago and they gave me a little travel size toothpaste and mouth wash that I haven’t used before. However since yesterday, now I’ve noticed a metallic taste in my mouth after using it that lasts a very long time. Even after two hours food doesn’t even taste good and can taste bad because of that taste in my mouth.

I am really freaked out. I’m going to stop using it obviously but what if this permanently damaged my taste buds or what if I have something very serious going on?? I’m trying not to Google but just feeling panicked. Has anyone else had a bad experience with toothpaste? I read some reviews of people complaining of the same thing…I hope it’s the toothpaste that is doing it.. :( this is just giving me a lot of anxiety and I am trying to remain calm but I’m scared that this is something serious going on.

They obviously just did X-rays and stuff and although i have some cavities to be filled there’s nothing else concerning going on with my teeth regarding infections or anything.

Nothing at all to worry about. You have a very simple cause --> effect. No permanent damage, nothing serious going on or anything like that. Just introduced something new to your body and your body is getting used to it.

Thank you so much for your response! I did stop using that toothpaste ( I think the last time was Monday night ) but I still have that bad taste in my mouth. When I woke up this morning I didn’t notice it, but after I started thinking about it and brushed my teeth again it’s back full force. I’m eating mints but it’s not helping much. I am now worried that I have kidney disease or failure and that’s what this is. In two weeks I leave for a vacation I have been planning over a year for and I am so terrified that this will ruin it.

I do take comfort in seeing that some reviews experienced something similar after using that toothpaste.
