Oral thrush is a common fungal infection in the mouth caused by an overgrowth of Candida yeast. It can cause white patches on the tongue, inner cheeks, or throat, along with redness, soreness, difficulty swallowing, or an unpleasant taste.
Oral thrush is more common in babies, older adults, denture wearers, people using inhalers, or those with weakened immunity. At our clinic, we provide assessment, advice, and effective treatment to help clear the infection and relieve discomfort. Treatment may include antifungal gels, mouth treatments, or tablets, along with advice on oral hygiene and preventing recurrence.
