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.
The other forms of oral yeast infections are more concerning, usually caused by chronic irritation of the mucosa by the yeast. This can result in changes to the surface of the tongue and mouth's lining and the development of ulcers in the mouth.
