Oral Yeast infections (Thrush and Candidiasis)

Yeast infections of the mouth are somewhat common. They are usually caused by illness, corticosteroid use, and antibiotics; however, there are numerous additional causes. In today’s post, I discuss the types, causes, treatment, and prevention.

Lip Incompetence, Mouth Breathing, (And Mouth Tape?)

Lip incompetence is a condition where the lips cannot form a seal when your jaw is at rest without straining. It should be diagnosed and correct as soon as possible. It is generally very easy to detect, but in some cases it can be tricky. If you suspect you may have this condition, consult with your dentist as soon as you can.
