I was to the dentist ,one week ago,he put me couple of fillings .
From then,I experienced a lot of strong metalic taste in my mouth,I can't eat almost anything,because the taste of the food is changed.
I Know that this strong metalic taste is fron amalgam filling that t contain mercury.
I asked the dentist and he said to me that the filling is not with mercury.I paid a lot of money for this and I don't have insurance.
Now,I think to go to hospital and take the level of mercury in saliva.What can I do?I have to study for my exams ,and I can't.
please,if somebody experienced this event,please,give me an advice.Thanks.









did you take metronidazole?
no,I don't take any medication.and all myl live I was in perfectly health.I experienced this bitter /metallic taste imediately after I received the dental fillings.
DO NOT ASK FOR MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE INTERNET. GO TO THE ER OR SEE YOUR FAMILY DOCTOR!!!!!!
