Okuqukethwe
Ukuvala imisele: indlela yokuvikela amazinyo ezingane zethu?
Naphezu kokuxubha okuvamile nakabili ngosuku, imigodi eyisishiyagalombili kweyishumi yakha emiseleni (imbobo yobuso obungaphakathi) ama-molars, ngenxa nje yokuthi ama-bristles e-toothbrush awakwazi ukungena yonke indlela eya phansi emigodini lapho udoti wokudla kanye namagciwane abangela imigodi ekhosela khona. Ngakho-ke ukuvala imisele kwenza kube nokwenzeka “ukulindela” ukubola ngokuvikela izinyo.ukuhlaselwa kwamagciwane. Ngokocwaningo lwaseMelika (izwe lapho ukuvalwa kwemisele sekuyinsakavukela khona), lokhu kusebenza kwakuvumela ukwehla ngo-50% kwezehlakalo zemigodi.
Indlela yokususa ingozi yemigodi phakathi kwamazinyo?
Imisele ivalwa udokotela wamazinyo, ngaphandle kwe-anesthesia (akubuhlungu neze!). Ukungenelela kuhlanganisa vala imifantu ngaphakathi kwezinyo usebenzisa i-polymer resin, esebenza kancane njenge-"varnish" evikelayo. Okuwukuphela kwemfuneko: ukuthi izinyo liphilile ngokuphelele. Ukubekwa uphawu ke kuthatha iminyaka eminingana kodwa umntwana kumele athule vakashela udokotela wakho wamazinyo njalo ezinyangeni eziyisithupha, ukuqinisekisa ukuthi i-resin ayigugi noma ayiqedi.
Nini ukwenza i-aphoyintimenti nodokotela wamazinyo ukuze uthole uphawu lwemisele yamazinyo?
I-molars yokuqala ehlala njalo ibonakala cishe eminyakeni engu-6 ubudala : lezi azizange zandulelwe amazinyo obisi futhi zikhule ngobuhlakani ngemuva kwama-premolars. Kusukela kule minyaka, ungenza i-aphoyintimenti nodokotela wamazinyo ukuze uthole uphawu lwemisele, ikakhulukazi njengoba ukungenelela ibuyiselwe yi-Social Security ! I-molars yesibili ivela cishe eminyakeni eyi-11-12 ubudala, kodwa kuzothatha iminyaka engu-18 ukuthi ingane yakho ibone ama-molars esithathu ahlala njalo, abizwa nangokuthi "amazinyo okuhlakanipha".
