Hi,I have been experiencing a gush of a salty taste in my mouth going on 2 months now. It started out with a metallic taste which i dont have now.. now my tongue ,jaw and lips on the right side are tingly and numbness like. I had a root canal  4 years ago??? It appears that the drainage is coming from this area and around the tooth..I have been to the dentist and he says nothing is wrong in that area??? I do have sinus issues...however there is no drainage in my throat.  This is driving me craazazzzzyyyyy!!!!!!
Hello, Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor Read your query as you have salty taste in mouth this can be due to dental infection could be due to infection in tooth or infection in gum.  I will suggest you to consult your dentist and go for Investigations Iowa X-ray of tooth to rule out cause of infection. In meantime do warm saline rinses 2 -3 times a day, and you can apply ointment gum paint on gum. Hope this will help you.
