At different times in my life, I’ve experienced the same thing but it seemed to go away. I’ll be curious to hear the answers.

Probably the flavor of the tooth paste mixed with your dry toothbrush. Or it could be something you ate but I think you should go with the first one

no idont think its the tooth paste. even if i use different kinds i still get the salt taste, it has gone away but every now and then it comes back. its weird. oh and no beach.

ok question…do you taste the saltiness in every sink that you brush your teeth at??? or is it just your home….it could just be water.

slick44's avatar

every sink

….hmmmm…maybe you have too much of a salty mineral in your body….copper….iron….etc..check your intake or talk to a doctor.
