Can You Get A Yeast Infection In Your Mouth?! (White Tongue, Oral Thrush)

Let's talk about yeast infections in your mouth (aka candidiasis and aka oral thrush) and how to prevent it, how to treat it, and how to avoid spreading it! Oral thrush occurs when someone has an overgrowth of certain types of bacteria in their mouth. Basically, all of the “oral flora” (natural bacteria that are always in your mouth) become unbalanced. Good or bad, there are more of some than others. They just aren’t balanced out like they’re supposed to be. So, one or two of them start to run rampant. As with other types of yeast infections on your skin, you can get thrush in your mouth when the risk factors all line up at the same time. Maybe you’ve been sick, you’re taking antibiotics, and you have a denture or retainer that you haven’t been cleaning properly. As a result, you start to see large accumulations of “thrush” bacteria in certain parts of your mouth.
