@dr_chalopa: Key Causes and Risk Factors of Oral Thrush - Immune System Weakness: Those with HIV/AIDS, cancer, or on immunosuppressant drugs are more susceptible. - Medications: Antibiotics kill off "good" bacteria that control the fungus, while inhaled corticosteroids (like for asthma) can cause it. - Chronic Health Conditions: Uncontrolled diabetes can trigger growth due to high sugar levels in saliva. - Dental Issues: Poorly fitting dentures or poor oral hygiene. - Dry Mouth: A lack of saliva allows the fungus to flourish. - Smoking: Tobacco use increases risk. - Nutrient Deficiency: Deficiencies in iron or vitamin B12. - Diet: High intake of sugar or yeast #oralthrush #thrush #diet #candida #holistic
