Metallic taste in mouth

I have a tinny, metallic taste on the roof of my mouth behind my front teeth.
I have been to see my dentist and she says there is nothing wrong that she can see.
I have gone to my ENT doctor...I took a CATSCAN and there is no sinus nasal infection.
So I am stumped. Now my ENT is suggesting that I go to the Mayo Clinic for a second
opinion. It is very frustrating. Does anyone have any experience going to the Mayo or is
this another waste of time?

@hleboyer Before jumping to a trip to Mayo Clinic, maybe you can find some help in this list of possible causes for the metallic taste:

I have experienced such a taste while on antibiotics, while on eye drops for glaucoma, and if I am dehydrated.

@hleboyer, you might see a lot of theories and questions about the causes on this sight. Mine started out metallic, then went bitter and is now mostly salty. There’s a thread about salty.

Most of us haven’t been able to know the cause. I keep an open mind. Please post if you get any info about your condition. I’ve had my odd taste issue since September 2023.

Hi, how are you doing. Did you find what caused that metallic taste. I am experiencing the exact same thing. Did you find any resolution?
