She may have a funny taste in her mouth and this could be as result of a stroke. See a Neurologist.

Why? Because she has dementia. Remember, when someone has dementia their mind isn't working correctly, they have no control over that.
Or as Pam had mentioned above, maybe she has a funny taste in her mouth. Also have her checked for acid reflex.
