ORAL CANDIDIASIS: Treatment and Symptoms

Oral thrush — also called oral candidiasis — is a condition in which the fungus Candida albicans accumulates on the lining of your mouth.

Candida is a normal organism in your mouth, but sometimes it can overgrow and cause symptoms.

Oral thrush causes creamy white lesions, usually on your tongue or inner cheeks.

Sometimes oral thrush may spread to the roof of your mouth, your gums or tonsils, or the back of your throat.
