i am having bitter taste and a mild pain in the upper part of my jaw. I had OPG scan all clear it shows. My teeth and gums are very good that s what Dentist says. I worry sometimes but taste never goes which makes me crazy and I avoid to talk to people as I feel I have got bad breath which is not true as my wife says.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The altered taste can be because of the pus discharge secondary to gum or tooth infection. The bad breath or halitosis can be because of the gum infection or food lodgment. Consult an oral physician and get the teeth cleaned. The other possible causes of halitosis can be because of respiratory tract infection or gastrointestinal disorders. Nothing to be panic, consult a pulmonologist and gastroenterologist and get it evaluated. Meanwhile, you can use mouth wash containing chlorhexidine. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
