YES
About a year ago my coffee tasted bland and many foods that I enjoy seemed to lose their full flavour. I thought it was just cause I was getting old - I'm nearly 70. After reading your web page on loss of smell something clicked. About a year ago my dentist recommended I use Colgate Sensitive Pro Relief toothpaste, as my teeth are a little worn and sugar, cold, sweet cause pain on some teeth. I did not connect the dots because I never expected a popular toothpaste would be the cause of my loss of taste or smell, and it was some time after starting using the toothpaste that the loss of these senses occurred. I went back to my old toothpaste and my sense of taste and smell have improved after a few weeks. Not sure if they are back to 100% yet.
