What is Oral Thrush?
Oral thrush is a common fungal infection in the mouth caused by an overgrowth of Candida yeast. It leads to white or creamy patches on the tongue, inner cheeks, or roof of the mouth and can cause discomfort, soreness, or a burning sensation.
While often mild, oral thrush can affect eating, speaking, and overall comfort, and sometimes requires medical treatment if it persists.

How does it work?
How is Oral Thrush usually treated?
Treatment focuses on clearing the fungal infection and restoring a healthy balance in the mouth. Common approaches include:
- Antifungal medications – topical gels, lozenges, or oral solutions.
- Maintaining oral hygiene – brushing, rinsing, and cleaning dentures if applicable.
- Dietary adjustments – reducing sugar intake to limit yeast growth.
- Managing underlying factors – addressing conditions like diabetes or immune suppression that may increase risk.
- Practical care tips – avoiding irritants like alcohol-based mouthwashes or very hot foods.
With prompt treatment, most cases of oral thrush improve quickly, reducing discomfort and restoring oral health.
