If you wear dentures, when your denture is taken out, your dentist may be able to see a very red area under the denture.

In patients without dentures white spots on the mouth and tongue are typical. These may join together to form larger spots or plaques. When wiped off the underlying tissue may be red and raw.

After antibiotics or steroids it is more common for the affected areas just to appear red and sore.

There may also be red sore areas at the corner of the lips known as angular cheilitis or angular stomatitis.Many mild oral thrush infections are painless, although the condition can sometimes become quite sore.

Babies they may drool saliva or refuse to feed properly because of the soreness.
