Candida?: You MAY have a yeast infection. Please see your doctor. People who have recently taken antibiotics are especially at risk. Peace and good health.

Of no concern: What you described is not of any health concern and is within the normal range of oral health. Do keep up with your oral health routine and see a dentist for evaluation at your convenience. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
