What Causes Persistent Sweet Taste In Mouth?
Every so often I have a persistent sweet taste in my mouth, regardless of what I eat/drink. Eating salty or savory foods only makes it go away while I m eating them. It doesn t happen very often, but when it does, it s hard to get rid of. What sorts of things should I look into, for the cause? I m 37, overweight but working on it, and about 5 feet 5.

Hello,

Sweet taste on the mouth can be a sign of diabetes.
I suggest to do a glycemic blood level for further evaluation.
Meanwhile,I suggest to maintain a good oral hygiene.
