Asking for Self, Male, 22 years old, Lahore
How common is it to get oral thrush for a 22 year old if he is wearing crowns from the past 3 months? The white tongue is without any pain, soreness and burning
Take a picture and send me and get a telemedicine appointment via marham as soon as possible .
Hello
You need to visit a dentist so that you can give proper history and get clinical examination done.There are many reasons of thrush some med, habits like smoking,dentures etc. Since I can't see you clinically only can advice you if you smoke you need to stop. Antifungal med are adviced for thrush but you need to visit a dentist so that one can see and advice you accordingly.
Better to take a pic i shall let you know

Agreed. Good approach . Without physically examining the patient or in the present scenario with pictures and telemedicine , it’s not possible to advise any treatment .

Oral thrush has got no connection with crowns. it's a clinical feature of fungal infection and needs few investigative procedures for proper diagnosis and treatment. white tongue doesn't mean necessarily that you are suffering from thrush. need to consult specialist in oral medicine.

There's no relation between oral thrush and crowns ... better keep your oral hygiene good and take medications according to your condition in order to evade it
