Sibandakanya iimveliso esicinga ukuba ziluncedo kubafundi bethu. Ukuba uthenga amakhonkco kweli phepha, sinokufumana ikhomishini encinci. Nantsi inkqubo yethu.

Zininzi izinto ezibaluleke kakhulu kubazali zokuzigcina ngomkhondo kunyaka wokuqala wobomi bosana lwabo: uncumo lokuqala, igama lokuqala, ukukhasa okokuqala, ukutya okuqinileyo okuqala, kwaye ke, ukuvela kwezinyo lakho lokuqala. Kubuhlungu njengokuba kunokuba njalo xa ucinga ngosana lwakho lukhula, kuyonwabisa ukubona zonke izinto ezintsha ezenzekayo ebomini babo.

Esinye isiganeko esihlala sisilela ukwenza ukusikwa kwiincwadi zokuncanciswa kwabantwana nangona lixesha lokuqala lokuxubha amazinyo. Iimpawu zamazinyo amancinci aphuma kumgca weentsini zinokunyibilikisa intliziyo yakho, kodwa ngaba uyazi iingcebiso malunga nendlela yokukhusela la mazinyo omntwana kunye nokukhuthaza impilo entle yamazinyo? Sukuba nexhala ukuba impendulo nguhayi, qhubeka ufunda…

Ufanele uqale nini ukuxukuxa amazinyo abantwana?

Kunokuba sisilingo ukulibazisa ukukhathazeka ngoncumo lomncinci wakho de babe banomlomo wamazinyo, kodwa ukukhathalela impilo yabo yomlomo kufuneka kuqale kwangaphambi koko. Nokuba awudingi ukulinda de kuvele izinyo lokuqala ngentla komgca weentsini ukuseta umntwana wakho ukuba abe nempumelelo yamazinyo!

Xa umlomo wosana lwakho luncumo nje gummy, ungasebenzisa ilaphu ethambileyo emanzi okanye ibrashi yomnwe ukusula iintsini zabo nokususa iintsholongwane. Oku kunceda ukuthintela ukonakala kumazinyo abo abantwana njengoko beqala ukufika kwaye sinezibonelelo ezongeziweyo zokubaqhela ukuba umlomo wabo uhlanjwe.

Ngokukhawuleza xa amazinyo eqala ukuvela ngaphezulu kwentsini, kuyacetyiswa ukuba uqiniseke ukuba uhlamba amazinyo omntwana wakho kabini ngosuku. (Elinye lala maxesha kufuneka libe semva kwesidlo sabo sokugqibela naphambi kokulala ukuthintela ukuvumela ukutya okanye ubisi ukuba luhlale emlonyeni wabo ubusuku bonke!)

Eli ikwalixesha elifanelekileyo lokuqhubela phambili ukusuka kwilaphu lokuhlamba okanye ibrashi yomnwe ukuya kwibrashi yomntwana ngobukhulu obunamabhanti athambileyo, ukuze ugcine iminwe yakho ithe qelele kancinane kwezo incisors zibukhali zintsha!

Uhlamba kanjani amazinyo omntwana?

Phambi kokuba umntwana wakho abe namazinyo. Ungaqala ukuxubha iintsini zosana lwakho ngendwangu yokuhlamba kunye namanzi okanye ibrashi yomnwe kunye namanzi.

Sula ngobumnene ujikeleze iintsini kwaye uqiniseke ukuba ungena phantsi kwendawo yomlomo ukunceda ukunciphisa ukwanda kweebhaktheriya!

Emva kokuba umntwana enamazinyo, kodwa ngaphambi kokuba akwazi ukutshica. Sebenzisa ibrashi emanzi ukwenza izangqa ezimnandi ngaphambili, ngasemva, kunye nomphezulu wamazinyo onke kunye nentsini. Unokukhetha ukusebenzisa i-smear ye-toothpaste malunga nobungakanani bengqolowa yerayisi kubantwana abangaphantsi kwe-3.

Ncedisa umntwana wakho ukuba ajonge umlomo phantsi ukuze intlama yamazinyo iphume iye esinkini, kwikomityi, okanye kwilokhwe yokuhlamba. Khuthaza umntwana wakho ukuba azame ukutshica intlama yamazinyo njengoko benakho.

Kuthekani nge-fluoride?

I-fluoride intlama yamazinyo icetyiswa nguMbutho wamazinyo waseMelika ukhuselekile kwaye uyasebenza nakubantwana abancinci. Kubalulekile, nangona kunjalo, ukusebenzisa izixa ezinconywayo. Ukuba le mali ye-fluoride isetyenzisiwe akufuneki ibe neziphumo ezibi. Ukutya ngaphezulu koku kunokubangela isisu esibuhlungu. (Ukuba oku kuyenzeka, iZiko leSizwe eliyiNtloko leTyhefu licebisa ukuselwa kobisi njengoko oku kunokubopha nge-fluoride esiswini.)

Ngokuhamba kwexesha ukusebenzisa kakhulu i-fluoride kunokonakalisa i-enamel yamazinyo, ngenxa yoko akukho mfuneko yokuyazisa de kube izinyo lokuqala livele ngaphezulu kwentsini. Ngaphambi koko unokuncamathela emanzini kunye nelaphu lokuhlamba okanye ibrashi yomnwe.

Kubantwana abangaphantsi kweminyaka emi-3 ubudala, iAmerican Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) icebisa kuphela ukusebenzisa ismear encinci yencindi yamazinyo ye-fluoride ephantse ilingane nokhozo lwerayisi. Njengokuba umntwana wakho ekwazi, mkhuthaze ukuba atshabalalise intlama yamazinyo kwaye uphephe ukuginya.

Kubantwana abaneminyaka emi-3 ukuya kweyesi-6, i-AAP iphakamisa ubungakanani bepea yencindi yamazinyo ye-fluoride eqinisekisa ukukhuthaza ukugwinya kancinci kangangoko kwintlama yamazinyo.

Kuthekani ukuba bayayithiya?

Ukuba ufumanisa ukuba omncinci wakho ungaphantsi kokuchulumanca xa ilixesha lokucoca umlomo awuwedwa. Ngaphambi kokuba ulahle zonke iibrashi zamazinyo endlwini yakho unxunguphalo, zama la maqhinga:

• Zama ukubala okanye ingoma ekhethekileyo yokubrasha izinyo ukunceda imizuzu emi-2 ukuba idlule ngokukhawuleza (umz. “Bhrashi, Bhrasha, Bhrasha amazinyo akho” ukuya kwi “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”). Isibali-xesha esibonakalayo sinokwenza ukuba kube lula kumntwana wakho ukuba abone ukuba imizuzwana ibala ngokukhawuleza kangakanani kude kube kugqityiwe ukuxubha amazinyo.
• Cinga ngokutyala imali ekukhanyeni okanye kwibhrashi yamazinyo enemoto ukwenza umsebenzi ube mnandi ngakumbi. (Ibhonasi yokuba ezi zinto zihlala zihleliwe ukuba zisebenze imizuzu emi-2 ngexesha ngoko akukho mfuneko yokuba ukhathazeke malunga nokuba umntwana wakho uxubha ixesha elingakanani!)
• Ziqheliseni ukutshintshana ngebrashi yamazinyo. Abantwana abazimeleyo bayathanda ukwenza izinto ngokwabo, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo kunokwenza ixesha lokucoca amazinyo libe mnandi ngakumbi. Qiniseka nje ukuba nawe ufumana ithuba, ukuze uqinisekise ukuba amazinyo abo alungile kwaye acocekile. Kubalulekile ukuthatha inxaxheba ekucoceni amazinyo omntwana wakho ade abe uyakwazi ukwenza ngokwabo.
• Umvuzo wokungaguquguquki kunye nenkqubela phambili ekuhlambeni amazinyo kunokukhuthaza umzamo ongezelelweyo kunye nokuziphatha okungcono ekupheleni kosuku! Oku kunokulungelelaniswa nangayiphi na indlela eyenza eyona nto ibalulekileyo kuwe nakumntwana wakho.

Uyikhetha njani ibrashi yamazinyo?

Ubudala bencinci yakho (kunye nenani lamazinyo abanalo!) Liya kudlala indima enkulu ekukhetheni indlela elungileyo yokugcina umlomo ucocekile.

Ukuba umntwana wakho akanawo amazinyo okwangoku okanye uqala ukufumana amazinyo, ibrashi yomnwe (okanye nelaphu lokuhlamba!) Inokuba lukhetho olukhulu. Oku kuya kubalungiselela ukuba banento yokucoca umlomo wabo kwaye bakunike nethuba lokuswayipha ibacteria kwiintsini zabo, ukuze amazinyo abo akhulayo abe nendawo esempilweni yokuphuhla.

Njengokuba umntwana wakho eqala ukukrwada kwaye uhlala efuna ukunamathela izinto emlonyeni wabo, banokuqala ukuthatha inxaxheba ebonakalayo kucoceko lwabo lwamazinyo ngokusebenzisa iibrashi ezinama-nub okanye iitayile zendlela. Oku kuvumela umntwana wakho omncinci ukuba abe nakho ukulawula ibrashi yamazinyo efana nento esemlonyeni wabo kwaye yenza ukuba kucocwe amazinyo ngaxeshanye!

Njengebhonasi, beza ngeendlela ezimnandi, njengecacti okanye ukrebe okanye ibhrashi yamazinyo yebhanana. Ezi zinokubonelelwa ngexesha lokudlala (ngaphandle kwethambiso lokucoca amazinyo, kwaye lihlala lijongiwe ngokufanelekileyo) njengeyona nto yokudlala kwaye zinokunceda ekunciphiseni ukungonwabi okukodwa.

Nje ukuba umntwana wakho abe namazinyo, lixesha lokwazisa ibrashi yamazinyo ngeebristles ezithambileyo kunye nentlama yamazinyo. Ibrashi yomntwana olingana nomntwana iya kuba nentloko encinci enokuthi ilingane ngcono kwii-nooks kunye neentsika zomlomo womntwana wakho.

Oku kuza kwimibala eyahlukeneyo kunye neepateni ukubhenela kuyo nayiphi na into onomdla kuyo umntwana wakho. Eminye ilingene ngeziphatho ezikhulu ukwenza ukuba kube lula ukuba umntwana wakho abambe, kodwa kubalulekile ukuba umntu omkhulu naye athathe inxaxheba xa esebenzisa olu hlobo lwebrashi ukuqinisekisa ukuba wonke umlomo ucocekile.

Thenga iibrashi zeminwe, iibrashi zetayitile, kunye neebrashi zamazinyo ezilingana nomntwana kwi-intanethi.

Yise kude

Ungaqala ukutyala imbewu yempilo elungileyo yamazinyo kwangaphambi kokuba umntwana wakho abe mdala ngokwaneleyo ukuba angaphalaza intlama yamazinyo. (Akukho sidingo sokulinda umlomo ukuba uqalise ukuxubha!)

Njengezinto ezininzi ebomini, ukuziqhelanisa kuyawenza ugqibelele, kungathatha ixesha kunye nomonde ukugqibezela ukuxubha kwamazinyo. Thatha intuthuzelo nangona xa umntwana wakho omncinci enoncumo oluqaqambileyo kamva ebomini, nina nobabini niya kuba nombulelo ngomsebenzi wenu onzima kunye nokuzingisa ukukhathalela impilo yabo yamazinyo!
