Denture stomatitis is a yeast/fungal infection in the mouth caused by Candida, also known as thrush. It is not a type of infection that can be passed on to others. Denture wearers are the most common group to be affected, along with people who have difficulty in keeping their mouths clean. Diabetics and anyone who takes steroids by mouth or inhalers may also have problems with this condition. Some antibiotics are also responsible for causing thrush. If left untreated, the condition can cause soreness in the mouth and may lead to poorly fitting dentures in the future. So it is important to keep your mouth as clean as possible and rinse after every meal.
