Treatments and Prevention

In certain cases, such as cancer treatments, the taste may only disperse after treatment is finished. Oral infections may be avoided if teeth and tongue are cleaned twice daily. Any infections of the gums or around the teeth may need the attention of a dentist.

Metal utensils may add to the problem, so using plastic ones could help reduce the effects of the metallic taste. Certain medications may be the root cause of the problem, so talking to a doctor may help solve the issue.
