about a month ago I had a tooth cap put in.  There was excess cement around the tooth.  About the same time, I got an odd metalic like taste in my mouth along with hoarseness and at times a sore throat.  The dentist has looked over the cap and sees no infection.  Any suggestions?
Hello! Thank you for posting here. You did not mention if you took any medication during the placement of cap and other dental treatment. Some medicines like metronidazole can cause metallic taste. This will reduce in a weeks time. Your dentist will remove any excess cement around the cap. Do not panic. Take azithromycin for 3 days. Also take cetirizine for the symptomatic relief. I suggest you to see your dentist if the tissues around the cap are red or irritated. Do warm saline gargle thrice daily. Have more water intake.
