Your dentist should examine any mouth sore that lasts a week or longer, including oral thrush. Your dentist can determine the best treatment by determining the cause of the sore. If the problem persists, it can be a symptom of a disease or disorder.
Talk to your doctor about your oral thrush symptoms, especially if you have never had it before. Sometimes oral thrush can be a warning sign of an underlying disease, such as diabetes. Tell your doctor about your oral thrush symptoms if you have a chronic health condition, if your immune system is weakened, or if you use inhaled corticosteroids. If you have HIV, contact your doctor right away if you have oral thrush symptoms.
