Kelly,

I think you are on the right track...the normal balance in your oral cavity has been compromised as well as your whole immune system.

I do think that the toothbrush change that Christine talks about is well worth it and a cheap fix. I would think that anything that comes in contact with your mouth/saliva would be good to address. Of course, the real answer is to get your mouth flora back to normal.

Good luck in your thrush fight!
