If you’ve spotted white or yellow patches on your baby’s tongue or on the inside of your child’s cheeks, they may have a fungal infection called thrush. Thrush is most common in young kids, but can affect adults, too. (In adults, symptoms can also include a cottony feeling in your mouth and loss of taste.)
Here are three things you can do to help prevent thrush:
1/ Practice good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing at least once a day. If your baby uses a bottle or a pacifier, thoroughly clean them in hot water or the dishwasher after each use.
2/ See your dentist regularly. This is especially important if you have certain health issues, like diabetes.
3/ Limit the amount of sugar and yeast-containing foods you eat.
