Disgusting taste in my mouth

55 replies

Mirage · 20/09/2005 20:59

I have had a horrible tatse in my mouth since Sunday.It seems to be coming from either side of my tongue about halfway down my mouth.It really is foul, a sort of bitter,burny,metallic taste & nothing will shift it.I've tried flossing,mints,mouthwash,TCP,throat sweets & Bonjela but they just seems to make it worse.I am struggling to eat aything because everything tastes so nasty & makes me feel sick.

I've booked a dentist appt for tomorrow to see if she can find out what it is.It is driving me crazy,does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be causing it?

Thanks.

Pregnant??????

spidermama · 20/09/2005 21:04

I had a metalic taste when in early pregnancy.

JoolsToo · 20/09/2005 21:04

stop scaring her - according to this there are loads of reasons!

spidermama · 20/09/2005 21:04

It's looking a little suspicious to me.

jampots · 20/09/2005 21:05

i dont remember a taste in pregnancy but I know i did go off coffee.

The other day though when brushing my teeth I nearly barfed and couldnt get rid of a horrid taste in my mouth too - tasted like someone had put soap on my toothbrush

spidermama · 20/09/2005 21:05

Jeezuz jools. 'Lead p[oisoning'. Now who's scaring her.

JoolsToo · 20/09/2005 21:06

I doubt she's been sucking paint of old radiators

soapbox · 20/09/2005 21:06

I beg to differ Jools - pregnancy sounds a lot less scary than most of the other causes on there

I think she's popped out to buy a preggie test

Mirage · 20/09/2005 21:19

Oh noooooo! I can't be pregnant,dd2 is only 17wks-please don't scare me like that.

Jools,I daren't look at your link-I'd be convinced that I had the worst thing on there.For the record I haven't been sucking radiators either.

The pg thing is bothering me now.I started taking a different pill recently & haven't had a period since I started it.Oh God,I don't think I could be,but.......

Should I do a test?I've got some upstairs from when I was pg with dd2.

Do it, do it now.

hunkermunker · 20/09/2005 21:20

Will you sleep tonight if you don't test? If not, do one. It's probably not pregnancy.

It's probably a big spoon lodged in one of your teeth or something. Honestly, that's so common.

Am I helping?

Worht a trip to the dentist. It'll be free as you have a baby.

madmarchhare · 20/09/2005 21:23

Big spoon - PMSL

Mirage · 20/09/2005 21:26

Ok,I'll do a test.I'm 99% sure it'll be negative though,but it will rule one cause out.

HM,big spoon
Spidermama,I'm still getting free dental treatment after having DD2.

Right,off to do the deed.

Shall be back shortly.
