Umlomo owomile

Umlomo owomile wenzeka lapho ungenzi amathe anele. Lokhu kwenza umlomo wakho uzwe womile futhi ungakhululeki. Umlomo owomile oqhubekayo kungaba uphawu lokugula, futhi kungaholela ezinkingeni ngomlomo nangamazinyo akho.

I-saliva ikusiza ukuthi udilize futhi ugwinye ukudla futhi uvikele amazinyo ekubolile. Ukuntuleka kwamathe kungadala umuzwa onamathelayo, owomile emlonyeni nasemphinjeni. Amathe angaqina noma abe ntambo. Ezinye izimpawu zingafaka:

• Izindebe eziqhekekile
• Ulimi olomile, olunolaka, noma oluhlaza
• Ukulahlekelwa ukunambitheka
• Umphimbo obuhlungu
• Ukushisa noma ukuzwa ukuzwa emlonyeni
• Ukuzizwa womile
• Kunzima ukukhuluma
• Kunzima ukuhlafuna nokugwinya

Amathe amancane kakhulu emlonyeni wakho avumela amagciwane akhiqiza i-asidi ukuba akhule. Lokhu kungaholela ku:

• Ukuphefumula kabi
• Khulisa izimbotshana zamazinyo nesifo sezinsini
• Ingozi eyengeziwe yokutheleleka ngemvubelo (thrush)
• Izilonda zomlomo noma izifo

Umlomo owomile wenzeka lapho izindlala zamathe zingakhiqizi amathe anele ukugcina umlomo wakho umanzi noma ziyeke ukuwenza ngokuphelele.

Izimbangela ezivamile zomlomo owomile zifaka:

• Imithi eminingi, kokubili incwadi kadokotela kanye ne-counter-counter, njengama-antihistamine, ama-decongestants, nemithi yezimo ezibandakanya umfutho wegazi ophezulu, ukukhathazeka, ukudangala, ubuhlungu, isifo senhliziyo, isifuba somoya noma ezinye izimo zokuphefumula, nesifo sokuwa
• Ukuphela kwamanzi emzimbeni
• Ukwelashwa ngemisebe ekhanda nasentanyeni okungalimaza izindlala zamathe
• I-Chemotherapy engathinta ukukhiqizwa kwamathe
• Ukulimala kwezinzwa ezithintekayo ekukhiqizeni amathe
• Izinkinga zempilo ezifana neSjögren syndrome, isifo sikashukela, i-HIV / AIDS, isifo se-Parkinson, i-cystic fibrosis, noma isifo se-Alzheimer
• Ukususwa kwezindlala zamathe ngenxa yokutheleleka noma isimila
• Ukusetshenziswa kukagwayi
• Ukuphuza utshwala
• Ukusetshenziswa kwezidakamizwa zasemgwaqweni, njengokubhema insangu noma ukusebenzisa i-methamphetamine (meth)

Ungathola futhi umlomo owomile uma uzizwa unengcindezi noma ukhathazekile noma uphelelwa amanzi emzimbeni.

Umlomo owomile uvamile kubantu abadala asebekhulile. Kepha ukuguga uqobo akubangeli umlomo owomile. Abantu abadala asebekhulile bavame ukuba nezimo eziningi zempilo futhi bathathe nemithi eminingi, okwandisa ubungozi bomlomo owomile.

Zama lawa macebiso okudambisa izimpawu zomlomo ezomile:

• Phuza amanzi amaningi noma uketshezi ukuze uhlale unamanzi.
• Suck on ice chips, amagilebhisi afriziwe, noma izithelo ezibandayo ezingenashukela ukuze ugcine umlomo wakho umanzi.
• Uhlafune ushingamu ongenashukela noma uswidi onzima ukuze uvuse ukugeleza kwamathe.
• Zama ukuphefumula ngamakhala hhayi ngomlomo.
• Sebenzisa umswakama ebusuku lapho ulele.
• Zama amathenda okufakelwa ngaphezulu noma okokuphalaza noma izifutho zomlomo.
• Sebenzisa ukuhlanza ngomlomo okwenzelwe umlomo owomile ukusiza ukuthambisa umlomo wakho nokugcina inhlanzeko yomlomo.

Ukwenza lolu shintsho ekudleni kwakho kungasiza:

• Yidla ukudla okuthambile okulula ukuhlafuna.
• Faka ukudla okupholile nokupholile. Gwema ukudla okushisayo, okubabayo nokunomsoco.
• Yidla ukudla okunoketshezi oluningi, njengaleyo ene-gravy, umhluzi noma isoso.
• Phuza iziphuzo ngokudla kwakho.
• Dunk isinkwa sakho noma okunye ukudla okuqinile noma okumanzi oketshezini ngaphambi kokugwinya.
• Sika ukudla kwakho kube yizicucu ezincane ukwenza kube lula ukuhlafuna.
• Yidla ukudla okuncane futhi udle kaningi.

Izinto ezithile zingenza umlomo owomile ube mubi kakhulu, ngakho-ke kungcono ukugwema:

• Iziphuzo ezineshukela
• I-caffeine ephuma ekhofi, itiye, neziphuzo ezibandayo
• Utshwala nomlomo otshwala uyageza
• Ukudla okunama-acid njengejusi lewolintshi noma lamagilebhisi
• Ukudla okomile, okunolaka okungacasula ulimi lwakho noma umlomo
• Ugwayi nemikhiqizo kagwayi

Ukunakekela impilo yakho yomlomo:

• Faka okungenani kanye ngosuku. Kuhle ukuflaza ngaphambi kokuxubha.
• Sebenzisa umuthi wokuxubha we-fluoride bese uxubha amazinyo akho ngebhulashi lamazinyo elithambile. Lokhu kusiza ukuvimbela ukulimala koqweqwe lwawo namazinyo.
• Shayela njalo emva kokudla.
• Hlela ukuhlela njalo nodokotela wamazinyo. Khuluma nodokotela wamazinyo wakho mayelana nokuthi uyohlolwa kangaki.

Xhumana nomhlinzeki wakho wezempilo uma:

• Unomlomo owomile ongasuki
• Unenkinga yokugwinya
• Unomuzwa ovuthayo emlonyeni wakho
• Unamabala amhlophe emlonyeni wakho

Ukwelashwa okufanele kuhilela ukuthola imbangela yomlomo owomile.

Umhlinzeki wakho uzokwenza lokhu:

• Buyekeza umlando wakho wezokwelapha
• Hlola izimpawu zakho
• Bheka imithi oyiphuzayo

Umhlinzeki wakho anga-oda:

• Ukuhlolwa kwegazi
• Ukufanekisa ukuskena kwendlala yakho yamathe
• Ukuhlolwa kokuqoqwa kokugeleza kwamathe ukukala ukukhiqizwa kwamathe emlonyeni wakho
• Olunye uvivinyo njengoba kudingeka ukuthola imbangela

Uma umuthi wakho uyimbangela, umhlinzeki wakho angashintsha uhlobo noma umuthi noma umthamo. Umhlinzeki wakho anganquma futhi:

• Imithi ekhuthaza uketshezi lwamathe
• Izinto ezithatha amathe ezifaka amathe emvelo emlonyeni wakho
