I had a really bad toothache last week and couldn't get in to a dentist so I was using saltwater to keep the pain in check. One night I stumbled into the kitchen and put some salt in the glass but it was way too much....didn't realize it at the time, filled the glass with water and rinsed...it burned and then went away but my mouth tasted like salt for three days. Then two days ago I just lost the salt taste in my mouth as well as all taste. Anybody ever have this problem? What should I do? I rather not go to the DR unless I have too. Anyone go through this and if so how long before it ran its course?
I had a toothache and lost my sense of taste?
Massive amounts of salt could damage your taste buds. If taste does not return in a few days, I would see my dentist. Another possible cause of altered taste is nerve damage. If this is the case, the sooner its taken care of the better.
