Oral candidiasis requires a structured first-line approach that addresses the root causes of the infection and restores a healthy oral environment before any further escalation is considered.
Management begins with correcting predisposing factors and underlying conditions, combined with careful oral hygiene measures — including the use of antiseptic rinse therapy. The full protocol specifies which interventions apply and how they are applied.
Oral hygiene involves cleaning the teeth, buccal cavity, tongue, and dentures.
As well as the use of anti-Candida rinses such as Chlorhexidine or Hexetidine, so that they can penetrate those areas where the brush does not.
In addition, the need to remove the dentures at night and wash it consciously, leaving it submerged in a disinfectant solution like Chlorhexidine.
