I actaully started this thread back in September. The periodontist (and also the PA at the ENT office) insisted it was leukoplakia but - partly because of the responses here - I pushed for getting an ati-fungal prescription. That started helping almost immediately.

But 2 months later he started getting it all over again. I think it has to do with the dry-mouth, but I'm not sure. My Accupuncture/Chinese Medicine friend says that thrush is often a sign of a compromised immune system. We're trying some herbal remedies but, per Marks reply, think we will also try to get some Nystatin to have on hand.

Thanks,
Anita
