Human: How do you prevent thrush?

Assistant: Thrush is a common fungal infection of the oral mucous membrane, which can present with symptoms ranging from mild discomfort to severe pain and bleeding.  There are a number of risk factors that can increase the likelihood of experiencing thrush, including the use of oral antibiotics and exposure to increased levels of sugar or candies.  However, the most important way to prevent thrush is regularly visiting a dentist for checkups and cleanings, in order to prevent buildup of plaque and bacteria in the mouth that can lead to the development of thrush.  In addition, good oral hygiene is important, including regular and thorough brushing of the teeth and a balanced diet that is low in sugar and refined carbohydrates.  In cases where thrush does develop, over-the-counter antifungal creams or rinses are effective treatment options.
