Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
Actually after the tooth extraction in some cases there is slight salty taste in the mouth which is the socket discharge as it is because a surgery has been done in that area and healing is going on.
But it is for sometime only as for 5 to 7 days after that it will be fine.
If it does not then you have to visit your dentist.
Hope it will help you.
Regards
