Thrush is a fungal condition when the candida fungus flourishes in an unprotected mouth. It can happen at any age, though it is most common with infants and toddlers. You can help to protect yourself and your young ones from this unfortunate condition by taking the following advice from your Federal Way dentistry clinic:
The candida fungus is generally present in everyone’s mouth at any time, though it is usually going to be kept regulated by your saliva. This is why stress, smoking, medication, and anything else that causes dry mouth can allow the fungus to get out of control. If you can mitigate such factors in your own life, you are less likely to infect your vulnerable infant’s mouth.
Aside from this, it’s mostly a matter of getting proper dental care for your child; impart proper hygiene with your child, limit his or her consumption of sugary or yeast-heavy food, and take him or her in for appropriate dentist appointments. Should all else fail, please contact Bella Dental.
