Odd taste in mouth

Odd taste in mouth

I had a metallic taste in my mouth - went to the dentist and he said I may have a filling that is leaking (had silver fillings when I was a child and am now 41 yrs old). He said he was going to redo the fillings in the area where I was having the metallic taste - he did, then the insurance claim information I received showed he did a crown. Now the metallic taste is gone (it wasn't constant when I had it) but now I do have a different taste in that area. The procedure was 2 weeks ago. My questions are:
1. Is the taste something to worry about?
2. Is it wrong for him to not have told me he was putting a crown on the tooth when all he said he was doing was replacing the fillings?
Thanks in advance.
