Hello Everyone,
About 8 years ago i had a root canal and crown which was made of gold. Last week i had a metal cap put on the tooth directly above to prepare it for a proper silver cap. Since then everytime i eat the food tastes of what can only be described as metal. It only happened when i ate food so i wasnt sure what was happening. Now ive discovered the problem. When i close my mouth and those 2 teeth touch thats when i get a metal taste. I put my tongue on the side of the silver cap and the metal taste gets so intense i have to pull my tongue away. The problem is if the silver crown is going to be made of the same material i am going to get the same problem. Any help/opinions/experiences would be greatly appreciated.
