Prevention Of Thrush

The following will help prevent thrush:

Follow good oral hygiene. Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss at least once a day.

Avoid mouthwashes and sprays. These products can destroy the normal balance of microorganisms in the mouth.

See your dentist regularly. Especially if you have diabetes or wear dentures.

Limit the amount of sugar and yeast containing foods you eat. Foods such as bread, beer and wine encourage Candida growth.

If you smoke, stop. Ask your doctor or dentist about ways to help quit smoking.
