Utshintsho lokuguga emazinyweni nasezintsinini

Utshintsho lokuguga lwenzeka kuzo zonke iiseli zomzimba, izicwili kunye namalungu. Olu tshintsho luchaphazela onke amalungu omzimba, kubandakanya amazinyo neentsini.

Iimeko ezithile zempilo eziqhelekileyo kubantu abadala kunye nokuthatha amayeza athile zinokuchaphazela nempilo yomlomo.

Funda ngento onokuyenza ukugcina amazinyo akho kunye neentsini zisempilweni kwiminyaka yakho yamva.

Olunye utshintsho lwenzeka kancinci emizimbeni yethu njengokuba sikhula:

• Ukuvuselelwa kweeseli kwinqanaba elincinci
• Izicubu ziba zincinci kwaye zincinci
• Amathambo ayancipha kwaye omelele
• Amajoni omzimba angabuthathaka, kungoko usulelo lungenzeka ngokukhawuleza kwaye ukuphola kuthatha ixesha elide

Olu tshintsho luchaphazela izicwili kunye nethambo emlonyeni, elonyusa umngcipheko weengxaki zempilo yomlomo kwiminyaka elandelayo

UMLOMO WOMILE

Abantu abadala abadala basemngciphekweni wokuba nomlomo owomileyo. Oku kunokwenzeka ngenxa yobudala, ukusetyenziswa kwamayeza, okanye iimeko ezithile zempilo.

Amathe adlala indima ebalulekileyo ekugcineni impilo yomlomo. Ikhusela amazinyo akho ekonakaleni kwaye inceda iintsini zakho zihlale zisempilweni. Xa amadlala amathe emlonyeni wakho angavelisi amathe aneleyo, anokunyusa umngcipheko woku:

• Iingxaki ukungcamla, ukuhlafuna nokuginya
• Izilonda zomlomo
• Isifo seentsini nokubola kwamazinyo
• Usulelo lwegwele emlonyeni (thrush)

Umlomo wakho unokuvelisa amathe kancinci xa usiba mdala. Kodwa iingxaki zonyango ezenzeka kubantu abadala zizinto eziqhelekileyo ezibangela umlomo owomileyo:

• Amayeza amaninzi, afana nalawo asetyenziselwa ukunyanga uxinzelelo lwegazi oluphezulu, i-cholesterol ephezulu, iintlungu, kunye noxinzelelo, anokuwacutha amathe owenzileyo. Esi sesona sizathu siqhelekileyo somlomo owomileyo kubantu abadala abadala.
• Iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga ezivela kunyango lomhlaza kunokubangela umlomo owomileyo.
• Iimeko zempilo ezinje ngeswekile, ukubetha, kunye neSjögren syndrome zinokuchaphazela amandla akho okuvelisa amathe.

INGXAKI ZENTSINI

Iintsini ezibuyela umva ziqhelekile kubantu abadala. Ngeli xesha ke xa izicwili zentsini zisusa izinyo, zibhenca isiseko, okanye ingcambu, yezinyo. Oku kwenza ukuba kube lula kwiibhaktheriya ukwakha kwaye kubangele ukuvuvukala nokubola.

Ixesha elininzi lokuxubha nzima kunokubangela ukuba iintsini zinciphise. Nangona kunjalo, isifo seentsini (isifo se-periodontal) sesona sizathu siqhelekileyo sokubuyisa iintsini.

I-Gingivitis luhlobo lokuqala lwesifo seentsini. Oku kwenzeka ngenxa yokuba i-plaque kunye ne-tartar ziyakha kwaye ziyacaphukisa kwaye zivutha iintsini. Isifo seentsini esibi sibizwa ngokuba yi-periodontitis. Ingakhokelela ekuphelelweni kwamazinyo.

Iimeko ezithile kunye nezifo eziqhelekileyo kubantu abadala zingazibeka emngciphekweni wesifo se-periodontal.

• Ukungabrashi kunye nokuhluza yonke imihla
• Ukungafumani nkathalo yamazinyo rhoqo
• Ukutshaya
• Seswekile
• Umlomo owomileyo
• Amajoni omzimba abuthathaka

IZILUMKO

Imingxunya yamazinyo yenzeka xa ibhakteria esemlonyeni (i-plaque) itshintsha iswekile kunye nesitatshi ukusuka ekutyeni ukuya kwi-asidi. Le asidi ihlasela i-enamel yamazinyo kwaye inokukhokelela kwimingxunya.

Imimango iqhelekile kubantu abadala abadala ngokuyinxenye kuba abantu abadala abaninzi bagcina amazinyo abo ebomini babo. Ngenxa yokuba abantu abadala sele bekhulile baneentsini, imingxunya kunokwenzeka ukuba ikhule kwingcambu yezinyo.

Umlomo owomileyo ukwabangela ukuba ibhaktiriya yakhele emlonyeni ngokulula, okukhokelela ekubholeni kwamazinyo.

UMhlaza womlomo

Umhlaza womlomo uxhaphake kakhulu kubantu abadala kuneminyaka yobudala engama-45, kwaye iphindwe kabini kumadoda njengabafazi.

Ukutshaya kunye nezinye iintlobo zokusebenzisa icuba zezona zinto zixhaphakileyo kumhlaza womlomo. Ukusela utywala ngokugqithileyo kunye nokusetyenziswa kwecuba kuyonyusa kakhulu umngcipheko womhlaza womlomo.

Ezinye izinto ezinokunyusa umngcipheko womhlaza womlomo zibandakanya:

• Usulelo lomntu lwe-papillomavirus (HPV) (intsholongwane efanayo ebangela i-warts zangasese kunye neminye imihlaza)
• Ucoceko lwamazinyo nolomlomo
• Ukuthatha amayeza atyhafaza amajoni omzimba (ii-immunosuppressants)
• Ukurabha kumazinyo arhabaxa, amazinyo okufakelwa, okanye ukugcwaliswa ixesha elide

Nokuba ungakanani na ubudala, ukhathalelo olufanelekileyo lwamazinyo kunokugcina amazinyo akho kunye neentsini zisempilweni.

• Bhrasha kabini ngemini ngebrashi yamazinyo ethambileyo kunye nebhloko yamazinyo ye-fluoride.
• I-Floss ubuncinci kanye ngemini.
• Jonga ugqirha wakho wamazinyo ngokujonga rhoqo.
• Gwema iilekese kunye neziselo ezineswekile.
• Musa ukutshaya okanye usebenzise icuba.

Ukuba amayeza abangela umlomo owomileyo, thetha nomboneleli wakho wezempilo ukuze ubone ukuba unganakho na ukutshintsha amayeza. Buza malunga namathe okanye izinto ezenziweyo ukunceda ukugcina umlomo wakho ufumile.

Kuya kufuneka unxibelelane nogqirha wakho wamazinyo xa uqaphela:

• Intlungu yamazinyo
• Iintsini ezibomvu okanye ezidumbileyo
• Umlomo owomileyo
• Izilonda zomlomo
• Amabala amhlophe okanye abomvu emlonyeni
• Umphunga ombi
• Amazinyo ayeke
• Amazinyo okufakela angalunganga
