Ikati eliconsa amathe ngokuvamile liwumphumela wokukhiqizwa kwamathe ngokweqile. Lokhu kubizwa ngokuthi yi-hypersalivation. Izimbangela ezahlukahlukene zingadala ukwanda ngokweqile emakati. Ngakho-ke, ukubonisana nodokotela wakho wezilwane kubalulekile ukuze kutholakale umsuka futhi uphakamise ukwelashwa okwanele.

Amathe akhiqizwa ngokuqhubekayo ngaphakathi komlomo yizindlala zamathe. Ayigcini nje ngokugcina imbobo yomlomo imanzi, ihlanze umlomo kodwa futhi yenza kube lula ukugayeka kokudla ngokukugcoba.

Emakati, kunamabhangqa ama-5 wezindlala zamathe, okusho ingqikithi yezindlala eziyi-10 ezisatshalaliswa ohlangothini ngalunye:

• 4 ngazimbili zezindlala ezinkulu zamathe: mandibular, parotid, zygomatic and sublingual;
• Ipheya eli-1 lezindlala ezincane zamathe: i-molars (etholakala emlonyeni eduze kwe-molar nhlangothi zombili zolimi).

I-hypersalivation ibizwa nangokuthi i-ptalism. Kubalulekile ukuhlukanisa phakathi kokukhiqizwa kwamathe okuvamile lapho kwenziwa isisusa esivela ekukhiqizeni okungavamile. Uma uthola ukuthi ikati lakho ngokuzumayo liqala ukuconsa ngobuningi futhi liqhubeke, khona-ke imbangela eyinhloko ikhona. Ngakho-ke, izimbangela eziningi zingase zibe umsuka we-hypersalivation emakati:

• Ukuhlaselwa kwezinhlayiya zamathe: ukuhlaselwa okuningi kwalezi zindlala ezifana nokuvuvukala noma ukuba khona kwenqwaba (i-tumor, cyst) kungase kuhileleke;
• Ukulimala komgodi womlomo: ukulimala emgodini womlomo kungaholela e-hypersalivation. Ngakho-ke kukhona ukuvuvukala (okungase kube ngenxa yokulimala kwamazinyo, ikakhulukazi i-tartar), ukutheleleka, ukugwinya isitshalo esinobuthi noma into enobuthi, ithumba, isimila noma isifo sezinso, ;
• Ukungena komzimba wangaphandle: ukungenwa komzimba wangaphandle kungabangela ukulimala kwezinhlayiya zamathe, umlomo, i-pharynx noma ngisho ne-esophagus futhi kubangele i-ptyalism emakati;
• Ukulimala kwe-pharynx, i-esophagus noma isisu: ukulimala kwemizwa, i-reflux ye-gastroesophageal, isimila, ukuvuvukala, i-megaesophagus (i-dilop esophagus) noma izilonda zesisu nazo zingabandakanyeka;
• Ukuphazamiseka kwemetabolism: ngenxa yomkhuhlane noma ukwehluleka kwezinso isibonelo;
• I-Neurological disorder: izifo eziningi ezifana namarabi, i-tetanus, izifo ezibangela ukudlikizela noma ezidala ukulimala kwezinzwa ezivimbela ikati ukuthi ligwinye kahle.

Lolu hlu lwezimbangela aluphelele futhi kukhona okunye ukuhlaselwa okuvela kumsuka we-ptalism emakati. Nokho, lokho ngezinye izikhathi okungahunyushwa ngokuthi i-hypersalivation empeleni kuwukunqwabelana kwamathe emlonyeni ngenxa yenkinga yokugwinya (isenzo sokugwinya) kuyilapho ukukhiqizwa kwamathe kuyinto evamile. Lokhu kubizwa ngokuthi i-pseudoptyalism.

Njengoba ubona, kunezinhlobo eziningi zezimbangela ezingabangela i-hypersalivation emakati. Abanye bangase babe mnene kodwa abanye bangaba yingozi kakhulu empilweni yakhe futhi bamele isimo esiphuthumayo. Ngakho-ke, uma ubona ukuthi ikati lakho lihlengezela ngokuzumayo futhi livuza kakhulu, kufanele uxhumane nodokotela wakho wezilwane ozokwazi ukukuqondisa ngokuphuthuma kwesimo. Qaphela uma zikhona ezinye izimpawu ezifana nalezi:

• ushintsho ekuziphatheni;
• ubunzima bokugwinya;
• ukulahlekelwa ukudla;
• ubunzima ekuphefumuleni;
• ukuvuvukala komlomo;
• izindebe noma izimpawu ze-neurological. 

Ungazama futhi ukubona ukuthi ikati lakho linento yangaphandle yini emlonyeni walo. Nokho, qaphela ukuthi ungalunywa. Uma lokhu kuvela kuyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu noma kuyingozi, ungangabazi ukuya kudokotela wakho wezilwane ukuze uthole ukuphepha okwengeziwe.

Kuzo zonke izimo, ukubonisana nodokotela wezilwane kuyadingeka, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kuphuthumayo noma cha. Lona wakamuva uzokwenza ukuhlolwa kwesilwane sakho futhi akubuze uchungechunge lwemibuzo ukuze uthole imbangela ye-ptalism. Ukuhlolwa okwengeziwe kungase kudingeke. Ngakho-ke ukwelashwa okuzonikezwa ikati lakho kuzoncika esihlokweni esihlonziwe.

Izinyathelo eziningana zingathathwa ekuvimbeleni. Isibonelo, njengoba amarabi eyisifo esiyingozi, esiyingozi esingadluliselwa kwezinye izilwane nakubantu, ikati lakho kufanele ligonyelwe lesi sifo futhi ligcinwe linolwazi lwakamuva ngemigomo yalo. Nakuba i-France okwamanje ingenawo amarabi, izigameko zokungeniswa kwamakati nezinja kwamanye amazwe ezivela emazweni lapho amarabi ekhona ngezinye izikhathi asekhona. Ngakho, lesi sifo singasakazeka ngokushesha okukhulu uma kungekho zinyathelo zokuphepha ezithathwayo.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukugcinwa njalo komlomo wekati lakho, okuhlanganisa ukuxubha amazinyo kanye nokuhlehla njalo, kuvimbela ukwakheka kwe-tartar kodwa futhi kugcina inhlanzeko yomlomo enempilo.

Ekugcineni, kubalulekile ukufunda ngezitshalo ezinobuthi emakati ukuze ungazivezi kulezi zitshalo ukuvimbela ukuthi zingazidli.

Kunoma ikuphi, ungakhohlwa ukuthi udokotela wezilwane uhlala ekuthanda. Ngakho-ke ungangabazi ukuxhumana naye nganoma yimiphi imibuzo.
