What Causes Strong Metallic Taste In The Mouth Behind A Tooth?
hello. I keep getting a strong metallic taste in my mouth, especially behind one tooth, and the tip of my tongue tingles as it would if I had burned it on coffee, but I haven't had anything hot. I have not had a change in diet and I am not taking any new medicines. I quit smoking two weeks ago. Any ides on what this might be?

helllo thanks for consulting at hcm..
usually metallic taste and tingling sensation results from various vitamin deficiencies..like iron, vit B12 ETC,, so plz consult a general physician for a complete blood check up and treatment,,,
If YOU are middle aged,with stress factor-- it might also be because of burning mouth syndrome,,
and also you recently quit smoking too..so may be you are having relapse episode???
either ways plz consult a oral physician and general physician for a check up and treatment,,hope it helps,,take care,,
