• Kufanele uqale nini ukuxubha amazinyo ezingane?
• Ugeza kanjani amazinyo engane?
• Kuthiwani nge-fluoride?
• Kuthiwani uma bekuzonda?
• Ukhetha kanjani isixubho?

Sifaka imikhiqizo esicabanga ukuthi ilusizo kubafundi bethu. Uma uthenga ngezixhumanisi ezikuleli khasi, singathola ikhomishini encane. Nansi inqubo yethu.

Kunemigqa eminingi kakhulu yokuthi abazali bakwazi ukuyilandela ngonyaka wokuqala wokuphila kwengane yabo: ukumamatheka kokuqala, igama lokuqala, ukukhasa okokuqala, ukudla okuqinile kokuqala, futhi-ke, ukuvela kwezinyo lokuqala lengane yakho. Yize kungadabukisa ukucabanga ngengane yakho ekhulayo, kuyajabulisa ukubona zonke izinto ezintsha ezenzeka empilweni yazo.

Umcimbi owodwa ohluleka kaningi ukusika ezincwadini zezingane yize kungokokuqala ukuxubha amazinyo. Izimpawu zamazinyo amancane aqhamuka kulayini wezinsini zingancibilikisa inhliziyo yakho, kepha ngabe uyazi izincomo zendlela yokuvikela lawo mazinyo ezingane nokukhuthaza impilo enhle yamazinyo? Ungakhathazeki uma impendulo inguye, vele uqhubeke ufunde…

Kufanele uqale nini ukuxubha amazinyo ezingane?

Kungaba yisilingo sokubambezeleka ukukhathazeka ngokumamatheka kwengane yakho ize ibe namazinyo omlomo, kodwa ukunakekela inhlanzeko yabo yomlomo kufanele kuqale ngaphambi kwalokho. Awudingi nokulinda kuze kuvele izinyo lokuqala ngaphezu komugqa wezinsini ukusetha ingane yakho ibe yimpumelelo yamazinyo!

Lapho umlomo wengane yakho umomotheka nje kuphela, ungasebenzisa indwangu ethambile emanzi noma ibhulashi lomunwe ukusula izinsini zazo nokususa amabhaktheriya. Lokhu kusiza ukuvimbela ukulimala kwamazinyo ezingane zabo njengoba ziqala ukufika futhi kunenzuzo eyengeziwe yokuzijwayeza ukuphulizwa umlomo.

Lapho nje amazinyo eqala ukuvela ngaphezu komugqa wezinsini, kunconywa ukuthi uqiniseke ukuthi uxubha amazinyo engane yakho okungenani kabili ngosuku. (Esinye salezo zikhathi kufanele kube ngemuva kokudla kwabo kokugcina nangaphambi kokulala ukugwema ukuvumela ukudla noma ubisi ukuthi zihlale emlonyeni wabo ubusuku bonke!)

Lesi futhi yisikhathi esihle sokuthuthuka usuka endwangwini yokuwasha noma ibhulashi lomunwe uye kubhulashi elilingana nengane elinama-bristles athambile, ukuze ugcine iminwe yakho buqamama nalezo zinsimbi ezintsha ezibukhali!

Ugeza kanjani amazinyo engane?

Ngaphambi kokuba ingane yakho ibe namazinyo. Ungaqala ukuxubha izinsini zengane yakho ngendwangu yokuwasha nje kuphela namanzi athile noma ibhulashi lomunwe namanzi athile.

Sula ngobumnene nxazonke zezinsini futhi uqiniseke ukuthi ungena ngaphansi kwesifunda sezindebe ukusiza ukunciphisa ama-bacteria build-up!

Ngemuva kokuthi ingane yakho inamazinyo, kodwa ngaphambi kokuba ikhafule. Sebenzisa ibhulashi elinomswakama ukwenza imibuthano emnene ngaphambili, emuva, nasendaweni ephezulu yawo wonke amazinyo kanye nolayini wezinsini. Ungakhetha ukusebenzisa i-smear yomuthi wokuxubha olingana nosayizi wenhlamvu yelayisi ezinganeni ezingaphansi kweminyaka emithathu.

Siza ingane yakho ibeke umlomo wayo phansi ukuze umuthi wokuxubha ukwazi ukuphuma ungene kusinki, inkomishi, noma indwangu yokugeza. Khuthaza ingane yakho ukuthi izame ukukhafulela umuthi wokuxubha ngangokunokwenzeka.

Kuthiwani nge-fluoride?

I-fluoride toothpaste inconywa yi-American Dental Association njengokuphepha nokusebenza ngempumelelo ngisho nasezinganeni ezisencane. Kubalulekile, nokho, ukusebenzisa amanani anconyiwe. Uma leli nani le-fluoride lidliwe akufanele libe nemiphumela emibi. Ukudla okuningi kunalokhu kungaholela esiswini esithukuthele. (Uma lokhu kwenzeka, iNational Capital Poison Center iphakamisa ukuthi kudliwe ubisi ngoba lokhu kungabopha ne-fluoride esiswini.)

Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ukusetshenziswa ngokweqile kwe-fluoride nakho kungalimaza koqweqwe lwamazinyo, ngakho-ke asikho isidingo sokuyifaka kuze kube yilapho kuvela izinyo lokuqala ngaphezu komugqa wezinsini. Ngaphambi kwalokho unganamathela emanzini nendwangu yokuwasha noma ibhulashi lomunwe.

Ezinganeni ezingaphansi kweminyaka emithathu, i-American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) iphakamisa ukuthi kusetshenziswe kuphela i-smear encane yomuthi wokuxubha we-fluoride ocishe ulingane nohlamvu lwelayisi. Lapho ingane yakho ikwazi, mkhuthaze ukuba akhafule umuthi wokuxubha futhi agweme ukuwugwinya.

Ezinganeni ezineminyaka emi-3 kuya kwengu-6, i-AAP iphakamisa inani losayizi wepea womuthi wokuxubha we-fluoride oqinisekisa ukukhuthaza ukugwinya okuncane ngangokunokwenzeka kumuthi wokuxubha.

Kuthiwani uma bekuzonda?

Uma uthola ukuthi ingane yakho incane kunenjabulo lapho sekuyisikhathi sokuhlanza umlomo wabo awuwedwa neze. Ngaphambi kokulahla wonke amabhulashi wamazinyo asendlini yakho ngokukhungatheka, zama le migilingwane:

• Zama ukubala noma ingoma ekhethekile yokuxubha amazinyo ukuze usize imizuzu emi-2 idlule ngokushesha (isb. “Ibhulashi, Ibhulashi, Bhrasha Amazinyo akho” kushuni othi “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”). Isikhathi esibukwayo singenza futhi kube lula enganeni yakho ukuthi ibone ukuthi imizuzwana ibala ngokushesha kangakanani kuze kube yilapho ukuxubha amazinyo sekuphelile.
• Cabanga ngokutshala imali esikhwameni samazinyo esikhanyayo noma esinenjini ukuze wenze umsebenzi ube mnandi ngokwengeziwe. (Ibhonasi yokuthi lezi zivame ukusetjenziselwa ukusebenza imizuzu emi-2 ngesikhathi ngakho-ke asikho isidingo sokuthi ukhathazeke ngokuthi ingane yakho ibisishayela isikhathi esingakanani!)
• Zijwayezeni ukushintshana ngebhulashi lamazinyo. Ojahidada abazimele bathanda ukwenza izinto ngokwabo, futhi kungenza isikhathi sokuxubha kube mnandi kakhulu. Vele uqiniseke ukuthi nawe uthola ithuba, ukuze ukwazi ukuqinisekisa ukuthi amazinyo abo mahle futhi ahlanzekile. Kubalulekile ukubamba iqhaza ekuhlanzeni amazinyo engane yakho aze akwazi ukuzenzela kahle.
• Imivuzo ngokungaguquguquki nenqubekela phambili ekuxubeni amazinyo abo kungakhuthaza umzamo owengeziwe omncane kanye nesimo sengqondo esingcono ekupheleni kosuku! Lokhu kungenzelwa nganoma iyiphi indlela eyenza umqondo wakho ube munye kuwe nasenganeni yakho.

Ukhetha kanjani isixubho?

Iminyaka yengane yakho encane (kanye nenani lamazinyo abanalo!) Izodlala indima enkulu ekukhetheni indlela efanele yokugcina umlomo wabo uhlanzekile.

Uma ingane yakho ingenawo amazinyo okwamanje noma iqala ukuthola amazinyo, ibhulashi lomunwe (noma indwangu yokuwasha!) Kungaba yindlela enhle. Lokhu kuzobalungiselela ukuba nokuthile okuhlanza imilomo yabo futhi kukunikeze nethuba lokuswayipha ususe amagciwane ezinsinini zabo, ukuze amazinyo abo akhulayo abe nendawo enempilo okufanele athuthukele kuyo.

Njengoba ingane yakho iqala ukuthambisa futhi ihlale ifuna ukufaka izinto emlonyeni wayo noma kunjalo, ingaqala ukubamba iqhaza elibonakalayo ekuhlanzekeni kwamazinyo ngamabhulashi anama-nub noma amabhulashi wesitayela. Lokhu kuvumela omncane wakho ukuthi azwe ukulawula ibhulashi lamazinyo njengento esemlonyeni wabo futhi kunika amandla ukuhlanzwa kwamazinyo okuncane ngasikhathi sinye!

Njengebhonasi, ziza ngobumnandi, njenge-cacti noma oshaka noma ibhulashi lamazinyo lobhanana. Lokhu kunganikezwa ngezikhathi zokudlala (ngaphandle kwanoma imuphi umuthi wokuxubha, futhi ngaso sonke isikhathi kugadiwe ngokufanele) njengethoyizi futhi kungasiza ekunciphiseni okunye ukungakhululeki kokuthambisa.

Uma ingane yakho isinamazinyo, sekuyisikhathi sokwethula isixubho ngamabhulashi athambile nomuthi wokuxubha. Ibhulashi elilingana nengane lizoba nekhanda elincane elingangena kangcono kuma-nook nasemifantwini yomlomo wengane yakho.

Lokhu kuza ngemibala namaphethini ahlukahlukene wokuheha noma yini intshisekelo yengane yakho. Eminye ilingene ngezibambo ezinkudlwana ukwenza kube lula ukuthi ingane yakho ikubambe, kepha kubalulekile ukuthi nomuntu omdala abambe iqhaza uma esebenzisa lolu hlobo lwebhulashi ukuqinisekisa ukuthi umlomo wonke uyahlanzwa.

Thenga amabhulashi eminwe, amabhulashi wesitayela, kanye namabhulashi wamazinyo alingana nezingane online.

Ukudla okudlela endlini

Ungaqala ukutshala imbewu yempilo enhle yamazinyo ngaphambi kokuba ingane yakho ikhule ngokwanele ukukhipha umuthi wokuxubha. (Asikho isidingo sokulinda amazinyo agcwale umlomo ukuqala ukuxubha!)

Njengezinto eziningi empilweni, ukuzijwayeza kwenza kuphelele, ngakho-ke kungathatha isikhathi nesineke ukwenza inqubo yabo yokuxubha izinyo. Thola induduzo yize ukuthi lapho ingane yakho isimomotheka ngokukhazimulayo kamuva ekuphileni, nobabili nizobonga ngomsebenzi wenu onzima nokubekezela kwenu okunakekela impilo yabo yamazinyo!
