Good call, guys.  Right before I started txing, I had to have two fillings replaced, and I had cracked a tooth.....I am guessing from clenching my jaw---all that pre-treatment stress and anxiety.

Welcome to the forum jonney =)  I a glad you found this place---it was (and still is) a true lifesaver for me.  Lots of great folks with so much information!

Wish ya the best,

You may want to see a dentist, it sounds like you may have cracked a tooth with an old filling made of metal which would give off a metallic taste because it is leaking slowly. Agree with rocker with the anticipation of treatment and possible hive association with the anxiety of starting.
