Hi,

I'd suggest to do the mouth swab culture test for candida to identify if candida is the cause of your white mouth to get proper treatment.

Meanwhile, until the test results are in, I'd advise to

- keep good hygiene of your mouth

- wash your mouth with water and salt and a bit of soda bicarbonate

- wash your mouth before going to bed and after eating

- avoid laying down immediately after eating.

- drink more water

Hope it helped!
