Ngaba uyazi ukuba i-enamel yamazinyo yeyona nto inzima emzimbeni womntu? I-enamel ngumaleko wangaphandle okhuselayo wamazinyo ethu. Iibhaktiriya ezisemilonyeni yethu zisebenzisa iswekile esiyityayo ukwenza iiasidi ezinokulutshintsha olu luhlu lokhuselo, lwenze umngxunya. Nje ukuba i-enamel ihambe, ayikhuli kwakhona. Yiyo loo nto ugqirha wakho wamazinyo kunye nococeko lwamazinyo soloko ekuxelela ukuba uhlambe ibrashi ye-fluoride kunye nococeko phakathi kwamazinyo akho! Unokufunda ngakumbi malunga nemingxunya kunye nendlela yokuthintela apha ngezantsi.

Yintoni iCavity?

Umngxuma ngumngxunya kwizinyo lakho. Umngxunya kwinqanaba lokuqala ungabonakala njengebala elimhlophe, elinokuphiliswa. Ixesha elingaphezulu liya kubonakala njengendawo emdaka okanye emnyama. Imigodi ingaba mincinci okanye ibe mikhulu. Imingxunya inokubakho kwiindawo ezininzi, kodwa ihlala ikwincopho yamazinyo akho apho uluma khona naphakathi kwamazinyo akho apho ukutya kubambeke khona. Imingxunya engalungiswanga inokubangela uvakalelo, iintlungu, usulelo, kwaye kunokubangela ukuba ulahlekelwe ngamazinyo. Eyona ndlela yokugcina amazinyo akho kwaye uwagcina esempilweni kukuthintela imingxunya.

Yintoni Ebangela Imivalo?

Ngaba amazinyo akho akhe azive “edidekile” emva kwesidlo? Ngaba uyabona xa uhambisa ibrashi kunye nokufaka le mvakalelo imbi? Xa singangxubhi kwaye siphosele ibacteria kunye nokutya esikutyayo kuyakha kwaye kwenza into encangathi ebizwa ngokuba yiplaque (iplaki).

Ngalo lonke usuku, iintsholongwane zondla ukutya esikutyayo. Xa sitya okanye sisela iswekile, iibhaktheriya ezisemilonyeni yethu ziyisebenzisela ukuhlala nokwenza i-asidi. Le asidi ihlala emazinyweni kwaye ihlasele umphezulu wamazinyo ethu. Ixesha elingaphezulu, iasidi inciphisa amazinyo ethu, ibangele indawo.

Ukuqonda ukuba zenzeka njani ezomngxunya, makhe sijonge into eyenza izinyo. I-enamel sisigqubuthelo esingaphandle esikhuselekileyo esikhusela amazinyo ethu. Ngaphantsi kwe-enamel yi-dentin. I-Dentin ayinzima njenge-enamel. Oku kwenza ukuba kube lula ukuba imingxunya isasaze kwaye ikhule. Ngaphantsi kwe-dentin yintlama. I-pulp kulapho luvo kunye nokuhanjiswa kwegazi kwizinyo zihlala khona.

Ukuba isithuba asizinzanga, iibhaktheriya zinokuhamba zisuka kwi-enamel ziye kwi-dentin kwaye zinokufikelela kumgubo. Ukuba ibhaktheriya ephuma emgodini ingena kwi-pulp, iba yintsholongwane.

Usulelo lwamazinyo lunokuba semngciphekweni kwaye lusongele ubomi ukuba alunyangwa. Yiya kugqirha wamazinyo ngoko nangoko xa uqaphela oku kulandelayo:

• Ukudumba ebusweni bakho okanye emlonyeni
• Ububomvu emlonyeni okanye ngapha nangapha komlomo wakho
• Ubuhlungu emlonyeni wakho
• Incasa embi emlonyeni wakho

Ngubani Osemngciphekweni weeCavities?

Abantwana, ulutsha kunye nabantu abadala banokuba semngciphekweni wokufumana imingxunya. Unokuba semngciphekweni omkhulu ukuba:

• I-snack phakathi kokutya
• Yitya ukutya okuneswekile kunye neziselo
• Yiba nembali yobuqu kunye / okanye yosapho yezihange
• Banamazinyo aqhekekileyo okanye asikiweyo
• Thatha amayeza abangela umlomo womile
• Unyango lwentloko okanye lwentamo kunyango

Iphathwa Njani Imiqolomba?

Imiphanda kufuneka inyangwe ngugqirha wamazinyo. Ugqirha wamazinyo uqeqeshelwe ukubona imingxunya. Umqala kwinqanaba lokuqala unokulungiswa nge-fluoride. Ukuba isisu sinzulu, ekuphela kwento enokuyilungisa yeyokuba ugqirha wamazinyo asuse isithuba kwaye agcwalise indawo leyo ngombala wesilivere okanye omhlophe. Ukuba izinyo linomngxunya omkhulu, lisenokufuna unyango olunzima ngakumbi.

Ndingawunciphisa njani umngcipheko wam weemvaba?

• Sela amanzi nge-fluoride
• Bhrasha nge-fluoride intlama yamazinyo ka-2 ngemini
• Hlala kude nokutya kunye neziselo ezineswekile, njengeelekese kunye nesoda. Musa ukusela okanye utye kuzo imini yonke. Ukuba uza kutya okanye usele izinto ezimnandi yenza njalo ngamaxesha okutya.
• Nciphisa amashwamshwam amnandi phakathi kwezidlo
• Coca phakathi kwamazinyo akho yonke imihla
• Ndwendwela ugqirha wakho wamazinyo rhoqo
• Iitywina zinokubekwa kumazinyo angasemva ukukhusela ngcono kwiintsholongwane ezibanga imingxunya emingxunyeni.
