What Causes Salty Taste In Mouth After Upper Molar Extraction?
Hi there. I had an upper molar extracted 6 weeks ago. The first week I had a horrible taste in my mouth. It dissipated after 2 weeks, but now I have a persistent salty taste. I mean really salty! The Dentist assured me there was no puncturing whatsoever of my sinus. What is causing this salty mouth syndrome?

Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
After extraction healing process starts so there is increased salivation in the mouth which makes you feel salty taste.
Dont worry take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Follow the post extraction instructions given to you carefully.
Take care!
