Ukuvela kwamazinyo engane kwesinye isikhathi kuyamangaza futhi ngeshwa akuhlali kubikezelwe. Ngenkathi kwamanye, amazinyo avela ezinyangeni zokuqala, kuyenzeka nokuthi kwabanye, elokuqala aliqubuki kuze kube sekwephuze kakhulu, mhlawumbe kuze kube unyaka owodwa.

Noma amazinyo enquma usuku lwawo lokukhishwa, futhi ingane ngayinye ilandela ijubane layo, noma kunjalo kukhona izilinganiso ezimbalwa ezingasiza abazali balindele ukugcoba futhi baqhathanise namazinyo ezingane zabo:

• Amazinyo okuqala ukuvela yizinsimbi ezimbili eziphansi eziphakathi nendawo. Singaqala ukuzibona ziphuma zinezinyanga ezine noma ezi-4 ubudala;
• Bese kuza amawele abo aphakeme, njalo phakathi kwezinyanga ezi-4 kuya kwezi-5 noma ezi-6;
• Bese kuthi phakathi kwezinyanga eziyisithupha kuya kweziyishumi nambili, kube yizicucu ezingaphezulu ezinamaceleni eziqhubeka nalokhu kukhishwa kwamazinyo, zilandelwe yilezi ezingezansi, ezandisa inani lamazinyo engane liye ku-6;
• Kusuka ezinyangeni eziyi-12 kuya kwezingu-18, izinhlayiya zokuqala ezine ezincane (ezimbili phezulu nezimbili ezansi) zifakwa emlonyeni wengane. Bese ulandela ama-canine amane;
• Ekugcineni, phakathi kwezinyanga ezingama-24 nezingama-30, kuyizinsalela ezi-4 zesibili ezincane eziqhamuka ngemuva bese zandisa isibalo samazinyo sibe ngu-22.

Njengoba zikhula, amazinyo ayinhloko, abizwa nangokuthi amazinyo obisi, azophuma kancane kancane ukuveza amazinyo engunaphakade engane. Nazi izibalo ezimbalwa, ukulandelana kwalokhu okuzongenelwa esikhundleni:

• Kusuka eminyakeni emi-5 kuye kwengu-8, kusesimweni esifanele, ama-incisors aphakathi nendawo abe eseceleni afakwa esikhundleni;
• Phakathi kweminyaka yobudala eyi-9 ne-12, ama-canine aphuma ngokulandelana, bese kuba ukuphenduka kwemolars yesikhashana yokuqala neyesibili. Lezi zamuva zibe sezithathelwa indawo imihlathi ecacile futhi emikhulu kanye nama-premolars.

Izifo eziningi nezincane zivame ukuhambisana nokuphuma kwamazinyo ezinganeni. Ukucasuka, ubuhlungu bendawo kanye nokuphazamiseka kwamathumbu, kungavela futhi kuphazamise omncane empilweni yakhe yansuku zonke nasekulaleni kwakhe.

Ingane ivame ukuba bomvu okuyindilinga ezihlathini nasematheni ngaphezu kokujwayelekile. Ubeka izandla zakhe emlonyeni bese ezama ukuluma noma ukuhlafuna imisindo yakhe, lokhu kuyinkomba yokuthi sekuzovela izinyo. Kwesinye isikhathi, ngaphezu kwalezi zimpawu, ukuqubuka kwenabukeni okufanele kususwe ngokushesha okwanele ukunciphisa ukukhathazeka kosana.

Ukusiza ingane yakho ukuthi idlule kuleli banga eliyingqophamlando ngaphandle kokuhlupheka kakhulu, ukushukuma okuncane, okulula kungayithobisa. Ungamkhuthaza ukuthi alume indandatho yokuthambisa, uqweqwe noma ucezu lwesinkwa esibhakwe kahle ukumthulisa. Ukuhlikihla okuncane kwezinsini ezivuvukile ngomunwe wakho okusongelwe inabukeni elihlanzekile (ngemuva kokugeza izandla zakho kahle) nakho kungaba kuhle enganeni yakho. Ekugcineni, uma ubuhlungu bunamandla kakhulu, i-paracetamol ingasiza futhi ibudambise, kodwa cela iseluleko kudokotela wakho.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukuthambisa amazinyo akuhambisani ikakhulukazi nomkhuhlane. Kungaba esinye isifo kwesinye isikhathi esihlotshaniswa nalezi zimo, njengokutheleleka endlebeni, kepha kukudokotela ukwenza ukuxilongwa nokuphakamisa ukwelashwa.

Ukugcina amazinyo engane yakhe futhi imfundise ukuthi angayisebenzisa kanjani inqubo enhle yokuhlanzeka kwamazinyo, qala ukubeka isibonelo lapho enezinyanga eziyi-18 ubudala. Ngokuxubha amazinyo akho nsuku zonke phambi kwengane yakho, umenza afune ukukulingisa futhi wenze izenzo zakhe zibe yingxenye yokuphila kwakhe kwansuku zonke. Banikeze futhi isixubho nomuthi wokuxubha osetshenziselwe iminyaka namazinyo abo bese uzinika isikhathi sokuchaza ukubaluleka kwalokhu kunakekelwa.

Ekugcineni, kubalulekile futhi ukumkhombisa ukushukuma komzimba okulungile: xubha ushungamu uye emaphethelweni amazinyo bese uhlikihla ngaphambili nangemuva, konke okungenani umzuzu. Ekugcineni, kusukela eminyakeni yobudala emi-3, cabanga ukuhlela ukuvakashelwa minyaka yonke kudokotela wamazinyo ukuze uhlole njalo futhi ubheke isimo esihle samazinyo abo amancane aphansi.

Kepha ngaphezu kokufundela umsebenzi, inhlanzeko yomlomo enhle iqala ngokudla okunomsoco. Ngakho-ke, ngaphezu kokufundisa ingane yakho indlela yokuxubha amazinyo kahle, hlukanisa ukudla okunothile ngamaminerali futhi okulungele impilo yayo.
