Unfortunately, it is all too common for an unpleasant taste in your mouth to occur because of an impacted wisdom tooth. This is because when the tooth becomes impacted a cyst can form. This happens when the sac the wisdom tooth is developed in fills with fluid, and after it erupts, it can cause pus drainage to leak into the mouth. When the patient bites or swallows, the cyst leaks, leaving a persistent unpleasant flavor in the mouth. If you notice you have disconcerting taste in your mouth that will not leave you, it may be a sign it is time to contact your dental professional about getting an X-ray done and having your wisdom teeth removed.
