Having good oral hygiene requires looking inside your baby’s mouth for any unusual changes. One common infection in infants mouths would be oral thrush. This is an overgrowth of yeast which can affect anyone, but more commonly appears in babies younger than six months. While oral thrush often disappears on its own, gum disease may progress.
