Does Crown Fitted In The Mouth Gives Metallic Taste?

For the past 2 weeks, I have had a horrible metal taste in my mouth. I have it 24/7, and it's now getting to me. I had a crown fitted 3 months ago, and asked the dentist when I went there the other day if it be be caused by the crown, and he said that he very much doubts it. What do you think?
