• Umntwana wam kufuneka abone nini ugqirha okanye ugqirha wamazinyo?
• Luthini unyango lokugaya amazinyo?

Unokuqaphela ukuba umntwana wakho uhlala ehambisa umlomo ngelixa elele. Oku kungakhatshwa zizandi zokuqhekeka okanye ukugaya xa amazinyo ehlikihla kunye. Yonke le miqondiso kukuba umntwana wakho usenokutshixiza amazinyo akhe.

Ukusila kwamazinyo, okanye i-bruxism, yinto enokwenzeka kwixesha lobomi ngenxa yezizathu ezahlukeneyo. Ngokwe-University of Michigan yeNkqubo yezeMpilo, abantwana bangaqala ukugawula amazinyo kwiinyanga ezi-6 okanye kamva xa amazinyo abo eqala ukungena kwakhona kwiminyaka emi-5 xa amazinyo abo asisigxina angaqala ukufika.

Abantu abadala banokutshixiza amazinyo abo ngenxa yoxinzelelo okanye uloyiko. Xa kuziwa kubantwana abancinci, oonobangela bahlala benxulumene ngakumbi nokuvavanya iitshisi zabo ezintsha. Ngelixa uninzi lwabantwana abancinci luphuma kulo mkhuba, kukho iimeko ezithile apho unokufuna unyango olongezelelweyo ukukhusela amazinyo omntwana wakho.

Kutheni abantwana abancinci besila amazinyo abo?

Ngokwe-Nemours Foundation, kuqikelelwa ukuba babini ukuya kwabathathu kwabali-10 abantwana abaza kutshixiza okanye bavale amazinyo. Amazinyo okusila aqhele ukwenzeka ngelixa umntwana wakho elele, kodwa ungababona bekwenza oko ngexesha lasemini.

Oogqirha bamazinyo abasoloko bezazi izizathu zokuba umntwana omncinci azitshixizelise amazinyo. Ezinye zezizathu zinokubandakanya oku kulandelayo.

• Amazinyo omntwana wakho omncinci awahambelani kakuhle.
• Umntwana wakho omncinci uyisebenzisa njengendlela yokuthomalalisa iintlungu, ezinje ngendlebe ebuhlungu okanye ukungonwabi xa usiva amazinyo.
• Iziphumo zeemeko ezithile zonyango, ezinje ngokukhubazeka kwengqondo, okanye amayeza athathiweyo.

Kubantwana abadala, ukugaya amazinyo kunokuba luphawu loxinzelelo okanye uxinzelelo. Umzekelo unokuba noxinzelelo olunxulumene notshintsho kwisiqhelo okanye uziva ugula. Ngamanye amaxesha wena okanye ugqirha wakho usenokungakwazi ukuchonga esona sizathu.

Ziziphi iimpembelelo ze-bruxism?

Kwinxalenye enkulu, ukutshixwa kwamazinyo akuthathelwa ingqalelo njengomkhwa oyingozi, kwaye uninzi lwabantwana abasakhulayo luphuma kuwo. Ngamanye amaxesha esona "siphumo" sikhulu ngumzali oxhalabileyo ngesandi sokugaya esenziwa ngumntwana wakhe.

Kwabanye abantwana, ukugaya amazinyo kunokubangela iintlungu zomhlathi. Ngelixa usana lwakho lusenokungakwazi ukukuxelela ukuba sesona sizathu kanye sokungonwabi kwabo, ukuhlikihla umhlathi rhoqo kunokuba sisalathiso.

Umntwana wam kufuneka abone nini ugqirha okanye ugqirha wamazinyo?

Ukuba umva umntwana wakho esila amazinyo kwiintsuku ezininzi zeveki, unganqwenela ukwenza idinga nogqirha wamazinyo.

Ugqirha wamazinyo womntwana wakho uya kujonga kumazinyo abo kwiimpawu zokuwohloka, ezinje nge-enamel enqunqiweyo okanye amazinyo abonakala ngathi aphukile okanye aqhekekile. Ugqirha wamazinyo uza kujonga ukungalungelelani kakuhle kwamazinyo, anokubonisa ukuba kutheni umntwana wakho esila amazinyo kwasekuqaleni.

Ngelixa ukugaya kwamazinyo omntwana omncinci kuhlala kungenabungozi, soloko usenza idinga nogqirha wamazinyo ukuba ukhathazekile.

Luthini unyango lokugaya amazinyo?

Kubantwana abadala, ukugaya amazinyo okubangela umntwana wakho ukuba abone iintlungu okanye ukungalungelelani kwamazinyo kuhlala kunyangwa ngonogada wasebusuku. Ezi ziingceba zeplastikhi ezibhityileyo nezityebileyo eziwela phezu kweentsini ukuze zikhusele amazinyo ekonakaleni. Nangona kunjalo, amazinyo abantwana abasakhulayo ahlala etshintsha, achaphazela ukukwazi komlindi ukuhlala kakuhle. Kananjalo, abantwana abancinci abanokungayiqondi indlela kwaye kutheni banxibe unogada wasebusuku kwiminyaka yabo yobudala.

Olunye "unyango" ongafanele ulusebenzise kukuvusa umntwana wakho xa usiva amazinyo egaya. Oku kunokubangela ukuba iimpawu zibe mandundu kwaye kunokuchaphazela amandla omntwana wakho okuphumla kakuhle ebusuku.

Unyango oluqhelekileyo lokusila kwamazinyo omncinci alunyango konke konke. Ukuba ukrokrela uxinzelelo okanye uxinzelelo kunokuba sisizathu esinokubangela, unokuzama ukumisela inkqubo yesiqhelo kunye nomncinci wakho. Oku kunokubandakanya ukubandakanya ixesha elikhethekileyo lokufunda okanye ixesha lokufunda ngaphambi kokulala ukubanceda bazive bezolile kwaye bathuthuzelwe ngaphambi kokuba balale.

Ukuthatha

Uninzi lwabantwana bayayeka ukutshixiza amazinyo emva kokuphulukana namazinyo abo obuntwana. Ngelixa umntwana wakho omncinci eneminyaka eliqela kunye namazinyo akhe osana, qiniseka ngokwazi ukuba umntwana wakho uya kukhula aphume kumkhwa.
