More info: You didn't say where the candida is, but common candida infections can be treated by primary care doctors. If it's in the mouth (thrush), it's important to find out why you have it.

Oral Pathologist: If you have one in your city, an oral pathologist is a specialist who only deals with these types of problems.

Either. : If you have an oral yeast infection, your dentist is capable to diagnoses and treat the infection. If you are suffering the infection elsewhere, a dermatologist, ob/gyn, or family physician can take care of you. A candida infection can effect several areas of body.

Where?: If your candidiasis infection is limited to your mouth, a general dentist or oral surgeon can prescribe medication to treat you and monitor it to make sure it's gone. If you have other areas affected on your body, you might want to see a dermatologist or ob-gyn accordingly.
