Could bad taste in mouth with memory and dental problems be connected?
Patient: Thanks I have had gum problems, all this year my dentist said I had a Teeth that need pulling but when i went for appt I only recieved filling, Now we have new contract for our facility and have a mobile van. They pulled 2 teeth (1 wisdom) SAID TEEH HAD DECAYED AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN PULLED LONG TIME AG0. i. CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS BAD TASTE MEMORY,PROBLEM DIABETIC. WENT BACK AND WAS PUT ON ANTIBIOTIC FRIDAY, WORRYR=ED ABOUT PYRIA, GENTIVITIS ANY SUGGESTIONS IF ANTIOBIOTI DOES NOT WORK R WORRY, Doctor: Thanks for using Health Care Magic.Read your query.Chronic gingivitis is usually associated with bad taste , bleeding from gums  and many other symptoms . Controlling the sugar levels is very important in a diabetic to prevent the gum disease.If I were your treating dentist I would advice you to continue with the antibiotics , maintain your sugar level for proper healing of the socket and to prevent more infection.Salt water gargling will be helpful.Once the socket is heal , have your teeth cleaned from the dentist .Oral hygiene is very important to prevent the recurrence of symptoms .Hope this was helpful.Thanks and regards.
