Answers:
Its blood that you're tasting..
The mouthwash you're using is probably making your wounds bleed because of the cleansing alcohol that is in it..
SLOWLY, and lightly take a tissue and bite down on it.. If you see bleeding, put a tea bag in warm water and bite down on it in the back of your mouth.. (don't bite open the tea bag)..
Only do the salt rinses, and wait to use your mouthwash..
**IF you're not bleeding when you did the tissue test, I reccomend you to call your oral surgeon/dentist!Health Question & Answer

the dentist probably used slted water to disinfect it (and the reason why it may take long to go away is because he sprayed it with a strong water jet)
but i'm not sure.. it might be the blood in your mouth that you taste abit.. anyways it is a good idea to disinfect your mouth often with salt water..
does it hurt a lot.?Health Question & Answer
