Sometimes medications can cause this. Eating salty things like ham, bacon, chips drenched in salt can stick to your tongue (taste buds are there) and the roof of your mouth. This also means that you are dehydrated and you need to drink your 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water per day and more if eating salty foods or exercising. When you feel thirsty you are ALREADY dehydrated! When brushing your teeth use a SOFT TOOTH BRUSH and gently cleanse the roof of your mouth and tongue as well as your teeth and gums. BE GENTLE! This will help keep the bacteria down and also get rid of the salty taste. If after doing the above and you still have a salty taste in your mouth then see your doctor for blood workup.
