Infant Thrush

CatherIN — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 17:27:03 GMT

Thrush in an infant's mouth is a yeast infection. It may look like white patches of cottage cheese or milk curds stuck to the inside of the mouth and tongue. These patches do not wipe off easily. If rubbed off, the areas may bleed slightly and look inflamed. If you suspect that your infant has thrush, talk to your child's doctor.

Individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) are not more susceptible to dental problems than the general population. MS patients do have special needs related to dental care as they can face difficulties in maintaining oral health due to their symptoms. Fatigue, spasticity, weakness, tremor, facial pain, and numbness or tingling in the hands all present a challenge to brush and floss adequately.

The FDA recently released a final regulation on the proper techniques while using amalgam fillings. Limited studies have been performed and controversy exists on whether an increased level of mercury is linked to neurological disorders.
