Just like many other problems the metallic taste could be due to many problems. Some are due to the medication you could be taking. Another reason could be due to dental problems. If you don't drink enough water it could affect your taste.

∙ 11y agoA metallic taste in the mouth is a fairly common problem - and usually not serious. Although you don't have actual taste buds that detect metals, the perception of the taste is described as "metallic."
A metallic taste can be due to many factors. But the most common causes of a metallic taste are:
Medications such as some antibiotics, prenatal vitamins and antidepressants, as well as drugs used to treat high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis and kidney stones
Oral problems, including oral infections such as gingivitis or periodontitis, tooth infections, and poor oral hygiene
Sometimes the cause of a metallic taste can't be determined. In many cases, the problem goes away on its own after several months or longer. Proper oral hygiene can help, including regularly brushing your teeth and brushing and scraping your tongue. Done properly, dental restorations - such as fillings and inlays - are rarely the cause a metallic taste.
