    What is Oral Candidiasis?

    It is caused by the overgrowth of the yeast candida albicans. Most people

    candida in a person's body is controlled by a healthy immune system and some
    "good" bacteria. If the immune system is weakened (due to an illness or
    medicines like chemotherapy), the candida can overgrow and lead to oral
    candidiasis.
