Re: is someone making bread in my mouth? to Cammie

[Guest guest]

Cammie,

I see the surgeon tomorrow and will tell him that and also ask the

questions about cleaning!

It doesn't seem as bad today, but I can still 'taste' yeast. I am

banded, and have been swishing with salt water. What happens when

you get a yeast infection in your mouth? I did see some white gunk

(can't see my tongue) on one of my front gums. How do you get rid

of an oral yeast infection? Should I get some yogurt drinks?

Thanks for your response! Britt

I did post surgery get alot of plaque on my teeth - mostly on the

biting surfaces not on the inside or outside.

If it is thrush (yeast) then you can easily treat that by getting an

oral solution - new born babies get that alot. If you want a quick

and dirty fix - get canestin - yeah that canestin. Vaginal yeast

infection stuff - of course a new tube

Or any mouth antifungal.

there's also a natural valerian or something. its really purple

though!

Yogurt, with live cultures, or buttermilk can help. But there are

some prescription pills that will knock it out more quickly. Best I

recall, they are pricey, but worth it. And I'm sorry, but I don't

remember the name. I also don't know whether they can be crushed and

dissolved. It's not something you want to let get away from you, as

you're probably taking in a lot of sweet stuff just now, and that

could encourage it.

That stuff is purple gentian, Shiloh, and you can get it at a

pharmacy. It's inexpensive, but really messy. And it stains anything

it touches. I wouldn't want to attempt it with a wired shut mouth.

And I'm not at all sure what it would do to the teeth under those

circumstances, either. I don't think there would be long-term damage

to them, but I think one might well have a really purple mouth and

elastics for a while.
