Izinguquko zokuguga emazinyweni nasezinsinini

Izinguquko zokuguga zenzeka kuwo wonke amaseli omzimba, izicubu, nezitho zomzimba. Lezi zinguquko zithinta zonke izingxenye zomzimba, kufaka phakathi amazinyo nezinsini.

Izimo ezithile zezempilo ezivame kakhulu kubantu abadala futhi bathathe imithi ethile nazo zingathinta impilo yomlomo.

Funda ukuthi yini ongayenza ukugcina amazinyo nezinsini zakho ziphilile eminyakeni yakho yakamuva.

Izinguquko ezithile zenzeka kancane ngokuhamba kwesikhathi emizimbeni yethu njengoba sikhula:

• Amaseli avuselelwa kancane kancane
• Izicubu ziba mncane futhi zinwebe kancane
• Amathambo aba mancane futhi aqine
• Amasosha omzimba angaba buthakathaka, ngakho ukutheleleka kungenzeka ngokushesha okukhulu futhi ukwelashwa kuthatha isikhathi eside

Lezi zinguquko zithinta izicubu namathambo emlonyeni, okwandisa ubungozi bezinkinga zomlomo eminyakeni ezayo

UMLOMO Oomile

Abantu abadala asebekhulile basengozini enkulu yomlomo owomile. Lokhu kungenzeka ngenxa yobudala, ukusetshenziswa kwemithi, noma izimo ezithile zempilo.

Amathe adlala indima ebalulekile ekugcineni impilo yomlomo. Kuvikela amazinyo akho ekubolile futhi kusiza izinsini zakho zihlale ziphilile. Lapho izindlala zamathe emlonyeni wakho zingakhiqizi amathe anele, zingakhuphula ubungozi boku:

• Izinkinga ukunambitha, ukuhlafuna nokugwinya
• Izilonda zomlomo
• Isifo sezinsini nokubola kwamazinyo
• Ukutheleleka kwemvubelo emlonyeni (i-thrush)

Umlomo wakho ungaveza amathe amancane uma ukhula. Kepha izinkinga zezokwelapha ezenzeka kubantu abadala yizimbangela ezivame kakhulu zomlomo owomile:

• Imithi eminingi, efana neminye esetshenziselwa ukwelapha umfutho wegazi ophakeme, i-cholesterol ephezulu, ubuhlungu nokudangala, inganciphisa inani lamathe owakhiqizayo. Lokhu mhlawumbe kuyimbangela ejwayelekile yomlomo owomile kubantu abadala asebekhulile.
• Imiphumela emibi yokwelashwa komdlavuza ingadala umlomo owomile.
• Izimo zezempilo ezinjengesifo sikashukela, unhlangothi, neSjögren syndrome zingathinta ikhono lakho lokukhiqiza amathe.

IZINKINGA ZESINSI

Ukubuyisela izinsini kuvamile kubantu abadala asebekhulile. Yilapho izicubu zezinsini zisuka ezinyoleni, ziveze isisekelo, noma impande, yezinyo. Lokhu kwenza kube lula ukuthi amabhaktheriya akhe futhi abangele ukuvuvukala nokubola.

Isikhathi sonke sokuxubha kanzima kungadala ukuthi izinsini zehle. Kodwa-ke, isifo sezinsini (isifo se-periodontal) yisona sizathu esivame kakhulu sokubuyisela izinsini emuva.

I-Gingivitis uhlobo lokuqala lwesifo sezinsini. Kwenzeka ngenxa yokuthi i-plaque ne-tartar zakha futhi zicasula futhi zivutha izinsini. Isifo esibi sezinsini sibizwa ngokuthi i-periodontitis. Kungaholela ekulahlekelweni amazinyo.

Izimo ezithile nezifo ezivamile kubantu abadala zingazibeka engcupheni yesifo se-periodontal.

• Hhayi ukuxubha nokuhlanza nsuku zonke
• Ukungatholi ukunakekelwa kwamazinyo njalo
• Ukubhema
• Isifo sikashukela
• Umlomo owomile
• Amasosha omzimba abuthakathaka

IZIMPAWU

Izikhala zamazinyo zenzeka lapho amagciwane asemlonyeni (uqweqwe) eshintsha ushukela nesitashi kusuka ekudleni kube yi-asidi. Le asidi ihlasela koqweqwe lwamazinyo futhi ingaholela emigodini.

Izimbotshana zivamile kubantu abadala asebekhulile ngokwengxenye ngoba abantu abadala abaningi bagcina amazinyo abo impilo yabo yonke. Ngenxa yokuthi abantu abadala asebekhulile bavame ukuba nezinsini ezixegayo, izimbotshana zivame ukukhula empandeni yezinyo.

Umlomo owomile ubuye ubangele ukuthi amabhaktheriya akhe emlonyeni kalula, okuholela ekubola kwamazinyo.

I-cancer yomlomo

Umdlavuza womlomo uvame kakhulu kubantu abadala kuneminyaka yobudala engama-45, futhi uvame ngokuphindwe kabili kwabesilisa kunabesifazane.

Ukubhema nezinye izinhlobo zokusetshenziswa kukagwayi yizimbangela ezivame kakhulu zomdlavuza womlomo. Ukuphuza ngokweqile kanye nokusetshenziswa kukagwayi kwandisa kakhulu amathuba okuba nomdlavuza womlomo.

Ezinye izinto ezingakhuphula ingozi yomdlavuza womlomo zifaka:

• Ukutheleleka nge-human papillomavirus (HPV) (igciwane elifanayo elibanga izinsumpa zangasese namanye amagciwane omdlavuza)
• Inhlanzeko yamazinyo neyomlomo engafanele
• Ukuthatha imithi ethena amandla amasosha omzimba (ama-immunosuppressants)
• Ukuhlikihla emazinyweni amabi, emazinyweni okufakelwa, noma ekugcwalisweni isikhathi eside

Akunandaba ukuthi uneminyaka emingaki, ukunakekelwa kwamazinyo okufanele kungagcina amazinyo nezinsini zakho ziphilile.

• Ibhulashi kabili ngosuku ngebhulashi lamazinyo elithambile ne-fluoride.
• Faka okungenani kanye ngosuku.
• Bona udokotela wamazinyo wakho ukuze uhlolwe njalo.
• Gwema amaswidi neziphuzo ezinoshukela.
• Ungabhemi noma usebenzise ugwayi.

Uma imithi idala umlomo owomile, khuluma nomhlinzeki wakho wezempilo ukuze ubone ukuthi ungakwazi yini ukushintsha imithi. Buza ngamathe wokufakelwa noma eminye imikhiqizo ukusiza ukugcina umlomo wakho unomswakama.

Kufanele uxhumane nodokotela wamazinyo wakho uma uqaphela:

• Ubuhlungu bezinyo
• Izinsini ezibomvu noma ezivuvukile
• Umlomo owomile
• Izilonda zomlomo
• Amachashazi amhlophe noma abomvu emlonyeni
• Ukuphefumula kabi
• Amazinyo axegayo
• Amazinyo okufakelwa angafaneleki kahle
