Many years ago I would get a series of shots to de-sensitise for poison ivy. Upon receipt of the injection in the arm I would immediately get a strong metallic taste in my mouth. I suspect something was tricking the taste processor in the brain- I dont think the injection could travel instantly from arm to mouth.

In this case, the cheek is a lot closer to the sensor so if forced to give a physicists response I think it possible the information could travel by phonon wave from cheek to sensor. there is so much we dont know....
My middle son is an Advanced EMT and a nuero-ICU nurse and he tells me the same thing happens to patients when they get an IV. He says it's a nuerological response (he says phenomenon) and quite common. It's possible this is what the OP experienced.
