You could try a salty water rinse, cuts down on bacteria growth. And drink more water daily, do you drink much water?

Oral thrush should be treated. If it recurs, your doctor is required [a] to determine if there is a serious underlying condition and [b] prevent it from spreading to other parts of the body. This is according to the article at this link:
[url="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000966.htm"]http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000966.htm[/url]

Bacteria - thrush is usually kept in check by a specific bacteria that is normally found in the mouth. This means that if you take antibiotics or use an antibiotic mouth rinse, the thrush infection could spread.

Sugars [carbs] increase the rate of growth of fungal infections. This is why diabetics often get thrush.
