When patches that are white appear underneath your tonuge you have a yeast infection that is called thrush. Most times thrush is common with senior adults and babies, however it can happen at any time it does not matter the age.

Thrush can range between moderate to severe and treatment is given depending on the level of thrush. There are medications and surgery for thrush. When the doctor gives you the treatments for thrush it is important that you stick with the cycle and finish out the medication even if it starts healing up.

If you have thrush you must really wash your mouth out good at least three times a day. Try and time it so you are washing it long enough. Dentures must be kept clean just like nipples on bottles must be kept clean to avoid any further possible infections that could come up from thrush.
