Oral thrush is a fungal infection of the mouth. It is not contagious and is usually successfully treated with antifungal medication. It is also called oral candidosis (or candiasis) because it is caused by a group of yeasts called Candida.
Candida is the primary species of oral yeast. It usually exists in the mouth without causing problems. However, under certain situations the yeast can change and cause an infection. There are four major forms of infection associated with Candida, the most common of which is thrush.
