Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

There are several conditions that may cause salty taste in mouth ranging from dehydration to smoking effects, sinusitis, autoimmune disorders such Sjögren's, etc.

Denture infection also may result in distortions of taste.

It is necessary to get evaluated by your Dentist initially in order to understand better your condition.
