Phakathi kwezinyanga ezi-4 neziyi-7, ingane iqala ukuphuma izinyo elilodwa noma ngaphezulu. Ibuhlungu kakhulu noma incane futhi inesibopho sezifo ezincane, azibonakali kwezinye kodwa zibuhlungu kakhulu kwezinye. Thola ukuthi amazinyo engane yakho avela futhi athuthuke kanjani.

Ngokwesilinganiso, kuphakathi nezinyanga eziyisi-6 lapho ukuqunjelwa kwamazinyo okuqala kubonakala khona. Kodwa ezinye izingane zizalwa zinezinyo elilodwa noma amabili khona kanye elulwaneni (nakuba kuyivelakancane), kanti ezinye kufanele zilinde zize zibe nonyaka owodwa ubudala ukuze zibone izinyo lengane yokuqala noma izinyo lokuqala. Ingane ngayinye ihlukile, ngakho asikho isidingo sokukhathazeka ngaphambi kwesikhathi.

Ngokuqondene neningi lentsha, kusukela ezinyangeni eziyisi-6 zokuphila lapho kuvela khona izimpawu ezithile eziyisixwayiso. Ukukusiza ukuthi ubone lezi zimpawu, nayi isilinganiso seminyaka yokuqala yamazinyo ezingane ahlukene:

• Phakathi kwezinyanga eziyisi-6 neziyi-12, ama-incisors aphansi bese kuvela angaphezulu;
• Phakathi kwezinyanga eziyi-9 neziyi-13, lawa ama-incisors asemaceleni;
• Kusukela ezinyangeni eziyi-13 (kuze kufike ezinyangeni eziyi-18) kuvela ama-molars abuhlungu;
• Cishe ngenyanga ye-16 kuze kufike eminyakeni engu-2 yengane kuza ama-canines;
• Ekugcineni, phakathi kweminyaka emi-2 nengu-3 yengane, sekuyithuba lokuphuma kwamazinyo okugcina: ama-molars esibili (lawo angemuva komlomo).

Eminyakeni engaba ngu-3 ubudala, ngakho-ke ingane inamazinyo ayisisekelo angama-20 abonakalayo (ayinawo ama-premolars, lokhu kujwayelekile ngokuphelele), kanti ngaphakathi, kungamazinyo angama-32 ahlala njalo akhula. Zizovela kancane kancane ziphakathi kweminyaka engu-6 nengu-16 ubudala futhi kancane kancane zizothatha indawo yamazinyo omntwana azophuma ngokulandelana.

Lezi zinyo zivame ukuhambisana nezifo ezincane ngezinye izikhathi ezihlakaniphile, kodwa ngezinye izikhathi zibuhlungu kakhulu ngokusho kwezingane. Okokuqala, umntwana uconsa amathe kakhulu futhi abeke iminwe yakhe, isandla nanoma yiliphi ithoyizi emlonyeni ukuze alincele. Uyacasuka, ukhathele, futhi ukhala kakhulu ngaphandle kwesizathu. Izihlathi zibomvu noma zibomvu kuye ngosuku futhi udla futhi ulala kancane kunokujwayelekile. Kwesinye isikhathi uma ubheka izinsini uzoqaphela ukuthi zibonakala zivuvukele, ziqinile futhi zibomvu noma zikhona njengenduna eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, ebizwa ngokuthi “i-rash cyst” (lolu uhlobo lwebhamuza elimemezela ukufika kwezinyo okuseduze).

Ayikho enye inkinga okufanele ngokuvamile ihambisane nokuphuma kwezinyo, kodwa kwenzeka kaningi ukuthi umkhuhlane noma isifo sohudo esihambisana nezinqe ezibomvu siqhume ngesikhathi esifanayo nokufika kwamazinyo. Lezi yizimo ezivamile, kodwa uma ungabaza, khuluma nodokotela wakho wezingane ngaphandle kokulibala.

Ngezinsini eziluhlaza futhi ngezinye izikhathi ezivuvukele kakhulu, umntwana uzama ukugwinya nokuhlafuna noma yiliphi ithoyizi. Ukuze uyikhulule, ungangabazi ukuyishiya iyindandatho ebandayo yokukhipha amanzi ngemva kokuyibeka esiqandisini amahora ambalwa (ungalokothi uyifake efrijini). Lokhu kuvumela indawo ebuhlungu ukuthi ibulawe izinzwa kancane.

Khumbula futhi ukumduduza nokumgona. Izingane azikulungele ngempela ukuzwa ubuhlungu futhi zidinga abazali bazo ukuba bazisize zibhekane nalezi zikhathi ezibuhlungu. Ngokugona okukhulu, ingane yakho eqinisekisiwe izoba nesikhathi esilula sokudlula lesi sikhathi. Ungakwazi futhi ukuphulula izinsini kancane futhi ngobumnene ngendwangu ebandayo, emanzi eboshwe emunweni wakho (njalo khetha indwangu ehlanzekile futhi ugeze izandla zakho kahle).

Ngenxa yokuthi amazinyo akhe ayigugu (kuhlanganise nalawo okuqala), kuhle ukujwayela ingane yakho ukuwaxubha kusukela isencane. Ngakho ungaqala ukumhlikihla izinsini ngendwangu yokuwasha ngisho nangaphambi kokuba kufike owokuqala. Khona-ke kuyoba lula kuwe ukujwayela ukuxubha okuvamile.

Ukuze wenze lokhu, ngaso sonke isikhathi nyakaza uqonde ensinini uye emazinyweni futhi uvumele ingane igeze umlomo wayo futhi ikhafule uma isikhule ngokwanele. Yenza lo mzuzu wokuhlanzeka kwamazinyo ube ukuhlangana kwangempela komncane, ngokuxubha amazinyo akho azomkhuthaza futhi akhuthaze ukwenzeka kokulingisa.

Futhi ungakhohlwa ukuthi ukuze ugcine amazinyo amahle, ingane yakho kufanele ilinganisele ushukela, ikakhulukazi ezinganeni.
