Can abscess in mouth cause bitter taste?
Patient: Hi, I have had a bitter taste in my mouth for about five montehs now. I have great hygiene but notticed a bitter taste in my mouth in the top right hand molar. I had it checked and had a an abcess. I had root canal and they found a crack. I had an extraction but the gum tissue is still bitter casuing tons of drainage.I had another crown just replaced witha temporary and now I have no more metal in my mouth. Is this related to my sinuses or is theis tooth related. I have bee to many dentists and natural doctors and have had many different medications. The oral surgeon said my extration sight looked good as well as the bone. Something is not right . Please help amm Doctor: helloo...read thru ur query...accordingly since dentist told socket looked great and other conditions are ok in the oral cavity(he might have checked whole mouth thoroughly)..drainage can be from sinus!!!or can be due to fungal coating on the tongue(if u have noticed it)..but nothing to worry...if coating is present u can follow these steps..after brushing daily u have to do tongue scraping with scraper use chlorhexidine mouthrinse and apply nystatin gel on the tongue..drink lots and lots of water...and see for a week...if it still continues meet a dentist...for sinus..u have to do steam inhalation daily twice in morn and night do breathing excercise twice daily and if possible do excercise for 30mins...follow this regularly ur sinuss problem will be solved..if after 2 wks still it persists meet an ent surgeon..besides all this be cool and stressfree...stressfree mind and happy face can relieve all probs...hope ur benefitted something from this reply.have a healthy day!!
