Oral Fungus

There is a small amount of fungi inside the mouth of all living organisms, including humans. However, beneficial oral bacteria cooperate with other microorganisms to keep only small amounts of these fungi. However, certain health diseases, stress, or even antibiotic use can kill large amounts of beneficial bacteria, thus opening the way for fungi to multiply and grow in a difficult way.

Fungi may infect anyone, they are not limited to a certain group of people. However, infection is more common in young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems.
