Hi, I have been doing a lot of research lately due to my own dental/ neuro issues. I have heard that NICO can cause a bad/ sour taste in your mouth. The reason being that you may have an infection in your jawbone which could cause a bad taste. Just wanted to put my two cents in- while I look for relief for myself.... Best of luck to you!

Will this ever go away?
 

Hello, I have been diagnosed with neuralgia due to a tooth extraction. I think I have some type of ATN - I have an appointment in the near future with a neurologist. I am wondering if anyone has ever had this and have had it go away on its own after a tooth extraction? Or is this permanent? I am hoping that somehow my nerve just needs some time to heal. Unfortunately from what I've been reading, it doesn't seem to just go away... Can anyone provide any insight to this? Thanks for your help!

hello,

the chorda tympani nerve, which mediates taste, merges with the lingual nerve which mediates sensation to your tongue. frequently, when patients are injured by dental injections, root canals, etc, patients report a metallic or salty taste in their mouth. this is likely due to damage done to the nerve by either the needle from the injection or some other trauma incurred from the dental work.
