Many people around the world suffer from yeast infection on the corners of the mouth. Oral yeast infection can be very frustrating, uncomfortable and irritating. This infection, also referred to as thrush is caused by the Candida Albicans yeast.

The following people are susceptible to these mouth infections -

* Those who neglect oral hygiene
* Those whose dentures are not fitted in a proper manner
* Diabetic patients
* People who are on prescription steroid
* Those who use antibiotics on a regular basis
* Those who are on medications that results in a dry mouth
* People whose immune systems are weak due to other infections

Symptoms include white spots on the tongue with raw and red underlying skin. Though there is not much of a pain, the condition can cause severe discomfort and uneasiness. Angular Chelitis causes this infection. There are many natural remedies for this. A few drops of tea tree oil in a few tablespoons of water acts as an excellent and effective mouthwash that provides great symptomatic relief. Rinse thoroughly after washing your mouth as you would with a regular dental mouth wash. Tea tree oil is toxic and it is therefore important to ensure that no part of the mouthwash goes into your system.

Using natural, sugar free yogurt mouthwash is another excellent way of enhancing friendly bacterial levels in your mouth. For at least two to three times a day, hold the yogurt in your mouth for a period of five minutes. There are many other natural remedies for this ailment that can cure the underlying cause in an effective manner.
