I had extractions and implants (and an infected abscess) in June on the upper right side of my mouth. It was necessary to remove an old bridge. I am about to start the process of getting a new bridge completed.
Before I do that I want to be sure that the cause of the bad taste isn't going to be 'sealed in.'-
Post-surgery it was thought that heavy doses of antibiotics - to treat the abscess -- were the cause. But it's been six months since I stopped the antibiotics. There was considerable, noticeable fungal overgrowth in the weeks following anitbiotic treatment, but that is no longer the case -- AND I experience the taste only on the side of the mouth that was treated.
I've been taking Chlorella on the chance that it would help -- (I also have acid reflux) - with limited success. I floss, rinse, clean -- and the fact that the tasts is limited to one side of the mouth seems to rule out systemic/disease cause.
I'm wondering if the tooth exposed by the removal of the old bridge is the cause of this.
Neither my dentist of my oral surgeon seems to have any solution.
thank you.
