Salty taste in mouth

2017-06-02 08:03:54
I've had my lower left wisdom tooth extracted about a week ago.The sutures have been removed and I've also completed all my medications(including antibiotics) without missing any dose. However, for the past 2 days I've been experiencing a salty taste in my mouth which probably comes from the hole in the gum.My dentist says that there's no infection
