Should I have a cut on my middle upper lip and is it normal to taste a metallic taste after re-cementing a crown? (Photos)

Question

I recently got all my teeth done due to a collapsed bite with porcelain crowns. I have been waking up with a cut right in the middle of my upper lip. I'm guessing it's from my 2 front teeth because the cut is right in between both? Also, When the work was all done my back bottom tooth crown was on for a while but then started to come out. I had it re cemented but since then I have been tasting a weird taste in my mouth only in that area. Almost like it wasnt sealed properly? Is that normal?

The cut on your lip may be caused by something rough on your crowns, have your dentist evaluate the location of the cut and see if anything on the two front crowns can irritate that location on your lip. If it’s the crowns, then there has to be something sharp. As far as the fowl taste, there maybe something not sealed with the crowns or something may be stuck in between your teeth under the gums. Either way, your dentist will be able to figure all this out with you. Go see him ASAP.
