Suggest Treatment For Oral Thrush

I am 39 year old female that got oral thrush from smoking, excessive dry mouth. My condition was made worse by a physician assistant that misdiagnosed my problem and prescribed me two different kind of antibiotics. Now the dentist says I should get a tooth implant, but I am worried because of the oral thrush .
