Oral thrush occurs when bacteria in the mouth grows out of control. It causes white lesions on mouth tissue, and can also cause burning and soreness in the mouth and throat.

Key takeaways:
- People with diabetes or weakened immune systems are more likely to develop oral thrush.
- Antibiotics can affect the balance of mouth bacteria so drink plenty of water with them.
- Always clean dentures on a daily basis and remove them at night to help prevent oral thrush.

Regular check-ups help maintain great teeth and oral health.

"Oral thrush is typically treated with antifungal medications that your dentist prescribes."
