How To Overcome The Constant Metallic Taste In My Mouth Behind Bottom Teeth?

I have a constant metallic taste in my mouth. Behind my bottom teeth below where the gums attach to the teeth. It has a sweet, metallic taste like battery acid. I was never a religious teeth cleaner until the last two weeks ,when i brush I do go slightly over the top. the taste has come on the last 7 days. I have no other symptoms. Been overweight for years but still in decent health.
