Can candidiasis be prevented?

The chance of developing oral candidiasis can be reduced by rinsing your mouth after eating, practicing good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing regularly and having regular dental check-ups. You may be able to reduce your chance of developing vaginal candidiasis by wearing loose-fitting cotton underwear and pants, avoiding using soaps around the genital area (they can cause irritation) and washing hands after going to the toilet.
