Q: I had all my gums grafted 6 weeks ago and just started have a bad taste in my mouth. I had 6 weeks of antibiotics.
A: You had all your gums grafted 6 weeks ago? Did you have bone grafts? Soft tissue grafts? Why were you on 6 weeks of antibiotics? Did you have any oral infections during this time? Do you have a periodontal packing in your mouth? Are you under the care of a qualified periodontist? Did you have any post-operative visits? The taste could be related to an infection in your mouth, or medications that you are taking. I strongly suggest you follow up with your periodontist as soon as possible to find out the source of your “bad taste”.
