Mouth Yeast Infection

Posted by DietExpert On January - 24 - 2009 0 Comment

Mouth yeast infections are also known as “oral yeast infections.” Candida albicans is most often the culprit that causes one to develop a yeast infection in the mouth. Candida is actually a very useful yeast-like fungus that aids our body in the digestive process.

Oral yeast infections are most common in babies and the aged. You might recognize the term, “thrush.” Thrush is a yeast infection in the mouth. It’s important to treat a mouth yeast infection as soon as it is detected because Candida can invade sensitive tissues and can lead to the opportunities for other infections to develop.

I have had four children and three of them developed thrush as very small babies. If you notice the symptoms of a mouth yeast infection or thrust, be very careful. Breast-feeding can lead to the transference of a yeast infection from baby to mother. In turn, if a mother has a breast yeast infection, it can be transferred to the baby’s mouth.

What are the symptoms of a mouth yeast infection?

Anytime you observe a white or yellow, creamy coating in the mouth, a yeast infection should be suspected. It’s very important to confirm a diagnosis with a physician if you have no history of such an infection. You may even see red, peeling patches on the palate or the tongue. When a yeast infection becomes chronic or is hyperplastic, you probably won’t be able to wipe off extra tissue and the inside of the mouth might be stained by food or other ingested substances.

Do to my own personal experience with yeast infections, especially female yeast infections, I have researched topic and have learned to treat and even prevent yeast infections. I share the information often with my family members. I don’t want them to suffer like I did. Imagine never having to suffer from a yeast infection again!
