Answer 1

Im not sure.....but i dont think that gingivitis causes a bad taste in your mouth....but if im wrong on that i do know one thing about it that im SURE about. It is reversibel all you have to do is floss....and btw you can usually tell that you have gingivitis by the fact that after you floss you leave you gums bleeding or your gums are swollen or a different color that normal such as red or somethin.  

Answer 2

If it's only after you eat. It could be acid reflux.

Do you ever get a sour stomache or heartburn after eating certain foods?

Citrus,spicy,yogurt,greasy,heavily sweetened foods,alcohol,smoking,even miny chewing gum can give you a sour stomache, if you have this problem.

YOu might want to see a doc.

You also can have acid reflux for a long time w/o any symptoms at all. Which can be bad.

Answer 3

I don't know why you have a bad taste in your mouth but there could be a million reasons why.  You might have gingivitis if you have bleeding gums .  If you don't then don't worry.  Brush your teeth and floss and you should be fine.  Contact your doctor or dentist about the bad taste in your mouth.
