Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As you describe in your query that you have tingling sensation and metallic taste in the mouth which is due to pressure on nerve supplying oral cavity and metallic taste could be due to gum problems like gingivitis and periodontitis, poor oral hygiene and sinusitis. I would suggest you to chew on sugar free gum and candies to stimulate salivary flow. The taste of the mouth will get to the normal as soon as we remove the causative factor. Visit oral physician once and get denture examined completely and start treatment accordingly. For now eat fresh fruits and chew hard peppermint candy .

Hope your concern had been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
