E aʻo hou kākou e pili ana i ko kākou mau ʻāʻī (Gums/Gingivae) a pehea e pale aku ai iā lākou?

Ua nānā anei ʻoe i loko o ke aniani a ʻike i loko o kou waha? Ua ʻike anei ʻoe i ka ʻāpana poni a puni kou mau niho? ʻO ia ka mea a mākou e kapa nei he ʻāʻī. ʻAʻole wale lākou ma laila, he mea nui loa lākou no ke olakino o ko mākou mau niho. I kēia lā, e kamaʻilio mākou e pili ana i kēia mau ʻāʻī (ʻĀʻī/Gingivae) a pehea e mālama ai iā lākou i ke olakino.

ʻAuhea maoli nā ʻāʻī? Pehea ko lākou ʻano i loko o ko kākou waha?

Inā ʻoe e hāpai iki i kou mau lehelehe luna a me lalo, e ʻike ʻoe i ke kinona poni ma luna a ma lalo o kou mau niho. ʻO ia ka gingivae. E noʻonoʻo e pili ana, he aʻa ko ko kākou mau niho, a ua pili kēlā mau aʻa i ka iwi ʻauwae. No laila, ʻo kēia mau ʻāʻī ka mea e hoʻopuni ana i kēlā mau aʻa niho a pale iā lākou. Ua like ia me ka lepo a puni kahi mea kanu, e kōkua ana i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka niho ma kahi.

I kēia manawa, e nānā kākou i nā ʻāpana like ʻole o nā ʻāʻī. He ʻano ʻepekema iki paha kēia, akā he mea maikaʻi ke ʻike no ka mea e hoʻohana paha kāu kauka niho i kēia mau huaʻōlelo.

• ʻO ka frenum labial maxillary: ʻO kēia ka ʻāpana lahilahi loa, e like me ka membrane ma waena o kou lehelehe luna a me kou ʻāʻī luna. Inā ʻoe e hāpai i kou lehelehe luna, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike iā ia ma waenakonu.
• Mucosa alveolar: He membrane mucous ʻulaʻula ʻālohilohi kēia. Loaʻa ia ma nā wahi e like me ka lalo o kou waha, ka ʻaoʻao o loko o kou mau papālina, a me loko o kou mau lehelehe.
• ʻO ka ʻāʻī o ka niho: ʻO kēia ka ʻāʻī o ka niho, ka ʻiʻo palupalu e hoʻopuni ana i ka lalo o ka niho. ʻAʻole ia i hoʻopaʻa pono ʻia i ka niho. Ke nānā ke kauka niho i ke olakino o kou mau ʻāʻī, hiki iā ia ke hoʻohana i kahi mea liʻiliʻi (probe) e hoʻoneʻe iki i kēia ʻāʻī o ka niho mai ka niho aku.
• ʻĀʻī i hoʻopili ʻia: He papa ʻē aʻe kēia o nā ʻiʻo palupalu. ʻAʻole e like me ka ʻāʻī marginal i ʻōlelo ʻia ma mua, ua hoʻopaʻa paʻa ʻia kēia i ka niho a me ka iwi ma lalo. ʻAʻole hiki i ke kauka niho ke hoʻoneʻe maʻalahi. ʻO kēia ka ʻāpana ikaika loa o ka ʻāʻī.
• ʻO ka gingiva interdental a i ʻole ka papilla: I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, ʻo ia ka ʻāpana o ka ʻāʻī ma waena o kou mau niho. Ke olakino, lilo ia i ʻano triangular a hoʻopiha i ka hakahaka ma waena o kou mau niho.
• ʻO ka frenum buccal mandible: Aia kēia ma ke alo o ka waha, ma waena o kou lehelehe lalo a me nā ʻāʻī lalo. Ua like ia me ka frenum ma luna.

Ua hana ʻia ko kākou mau ʻāʻī i kēia mau ʻāpana a pau, a kēlā me kēia me kahi hana kikoʻī.

He aha nā pōmaikaʻi o nā ʻākala iā kākou?

No laila, ʻo ka pōmaikaʻi nui o kēia mau ʻāʻī, ʻo ia ke kōkua i ka mālama ʻana i ko kākou mau niho ma kahi. Hana lākou e like me ke sila a puni nā niho, e pale ana i nā ʻāpana meaʻai a me nā bacteria mai ke komo ʻana i ke aʻa o nā niho.

Eia kekahi, uhi kēia mau ʻāʻī a pale i ka iwi ʻāʻī e paʻa ana i ko kākou mau niho. E noʻonoʻo wale, inā ʻaʻole olakino nā ʻāʻī, hiki i nā niho ke hoʻomaka mālie e hemo a hāʻule i waho. No laila, he mea nui loa nā ʻāʻī a he mea pono ʻole hoʻi i ko kākou olakino waha. Ua like nā ʻāʻī me ka ʻili o ka lāʻau i nā niho.

Pehea ke ʻano o nā ʻāʻī olakino?

He maʻalahi ke ʻike i nā ʻāʻī olakino ke ʻike ʻoe iā lākou. Ke nānā ʻoe i ke aniani, e nānā i kēia mau mea:

• He ʻulaʻula māmā ko lākou maʻamau (he ʻeleʻele iki paha ke kala o kekahi poʻe ma muli o ko lākou ʻili, he mea maʻamau ia).
• Inā ʻoe e hoʻopā aku me kou lima, he paʻa a paʻa hoʻi ia. ʻAʻohe palupalu.
• Ua hoʻonohonoho pono ʻia a puni nā niho, me he mea lā e paʻa pono ana i ka niho.
• He pehu, he ʻulaʻula, a ʻaʻole hoʻi e kahe koke ke koko.
• Hiki ke ʻike ʻia kekahi ʻano o nā puʻupuʻu liʻiliʻi, e like me ka ʻili o ka ʻalani, (stippling) i nā ʻāʻī olakino. Hōʻike kēia ua pili pono nā ʻāʻī i nā ʻiʻo ma lalo.

Inā like ke ʻano o kou ʻāʻī me kēia, hiki iā ʻoe ke hauʻoli! ʻO ia hoʻi ke mālama pono nei ʻoe iā lākou.

He aha nā ʻano maʻi ʻāʻī? He mea weliweli anei lākou?

ʻO ka mea pōʻino, hiki i nā ʻāʻī ke maʻi. Kāhea mākou i kēia maʻi periodontal . ʻO ke kumu nui o kēia, ʻo ia ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana o nā bacteria ma nā niho a me nā ʻāʻī. Loaʻa kēia bacteria mai ka plaque, i hana ʻia me ka meaʻai a mākou e ʻai ai. Inā ʻaʻole i wehe pono ʻia kēia plaque, paʻakikī ia i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa a lilo i tartar/calculus . Hiki i nā bacteria hou aʻe ke hōʻiliʻili ma luna o kēia.

ʻElua ʻano nui o ka maʻi ʻāʻī:

1. ʻO ka maʻi ʻōpū

ʻO kēia ke kahua maʻalahi a ʻoluʻolu loa o ka maʻi ʻāʻī. Ke hōʻiliʻili ka bacteria, ka plaque, a me ka tartar ma ko kākou mau niho, hiki i nā ʻāʻī ke lilo i maʻi a pehu. Ua kapa ʻia kēia he gingivitis.

• Nā Hōʻailona: Ke kahe ʻana o ke koko o nā ʻāʻī i ka wā e palaki ai i kou mau niho, ka ʻulaʻula o nā ʻāʻī, ka pehu iki ʻana, ka hanu ʻino, a pēlā aku. I kekahi manawa, ʻaʻole paha e ʻike ʻia kēia mau hōʻailona i ka wā mua, a i ʻole manaʻo paha ʻoe he mea maʻamau.
• Ka laha ʻana: He mea maʻamau loa kēia. Hōʻike nā noiʻi he hapalua o nā pākeke ma luna o 30 mau makahiki he nui ko lākou maʻi gingivitis.
• ʻO ka mea nui loa: ʻO ka mea maikaʻi loa, inā ʻike mua ʻia kēia, hiki ke ho'ōla loa ʻia me ka palaki pono ʻana a me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻoihana e ke kauka niho. I kēia manawa, ʻaʻohe pōʻino mau loa i ka niho a i ʻole ka iwi ʻauwae.

2. ʻO ka maʻi periodontitis

ʻO kēia ke kahua koʻikoʻi a koʻikoʻi loa o ka maʻi ʻāʻī. Inā ʻaʻole mālama pono ʻia ka gingivitis, hiki iā ia ke holomua i ka periodontitis, he maʻi bacteria nō hoʻi.

• He aha ka mea e hana ʻia:I kēia manawa, hoʻomaka nā ʻāʻī e huki aku mai nā niho, e hana ana i nā "ʻeke" liʻiliʻi ma waena o nā niho a me nā ʻāʻī. Hiki i nā bacteria ke hōʻiliʻili i loko o kēia mau ʻeke, e hoʻonui ana i ka maʻi. I ka hala ʻana o ka manawa, hiki i kēia maʻi ke hoʻomaka e luku i ka iwi ʻauwae a me nā ligaments e paʻa ana i nā niho.
• Nā Hōʻailona: Ma waho aʻe o nā hōʻailona o ka gingivitis i ʻōlelo mua ʻia, aia paha nā mea e like me ka emi ʻana o nā ʻāʻī mai nā niho (me he mea lā ua ulu aʻe nā niho), nā hakahaka nui ma waena o nā niho, nā niho palupalu, ka pus e puka mai ana mai nā ʻāʻī, kahi loli i kou ʻano i ka wā e ʻai ai, a me kahi ʻono maikaʻi ʻole i ka waha.
• ʻO ke koʻikoʻi: Ma kahi ʻāina e like me ʻAmelika, ʻoi aku ma mua o 47% o ka poʻe ma luna o 30 mau makahiki i loaʻa i kēia maʻi. Piʻi kēia helu i kahi 70% no ka poʻe ma luna o 65 mau makahiki. No laila e noʻonoʻo i ke ʻano maʻamau o kēia, a me ke koʻikoʻi o ia mea. Inā ʻaʻole mālama ʻia, hiki i ka periodontitis ke hoʻoheheʻe i ka iwi ʻauwae e paʻa ana i kou mau niho, a laila e hāʻule i waho.
• Lapaʻau: Pono maoli kēia i ka mālama ʻana i nā niho. Hiki i kēia ke komo pū me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe hohonu, ka lāʻau lapaʻau, a i kekahi mau hihia koʻikoʻi, hiki ke ʻoki kino.

No laila, ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻowahāwahā wale ʻia ka maʻi ʻāʻī. ʻO ka mea nui loa, ʻo ia ka ʻike mua ʻana a hana i kahi hana.

Pehea lā e mālama ai i ke olakino o ko kākou mau ʻāʻī?

ʻAe, i kēia manawa ua ʻike mākou i ke koʻikoʻi o nā ʻāʻī a me nā maʻi e hiki ai iā lākou ke hana. No laila, pehea mākou e pale ai i kēia mau ʻāʻī makamae? ʻO ka mea wale nō a mākou e hana ai, ʻo ia ke hahai i nā ʻano maʻemaʻe waha maikaʻi . Eia kēlā mau ʻano:

• E palaki i kou mau niho ma ka liʻiliʻi ʻelua i ka lā no ʻelua mau minuke. I ka palaki ʻana, mai palaki wale i kou mau niho, akā e palaki pono hoʻi e wehe i ka bacteria a me ka plaque mai ka laina ʻāʻī. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka paʻa ʻana i kāu palaki niho ma kahi kihi 45-degere i kou mau ʻāʻī a palaki me nā neʻe mālie, pōʻai a i ʻole nā ​​​​hahau pōkole, i luna a i lalo. Mai palaki ikaika loa, no ka mea hiki i kēia ke hōʻino i kou mau ʻāʻī.
• E hoʻohana i ka floss ma waena o kou mau niho. He mea nui ka floss ʻana i ka niho no ka wehe ʻana i nā ʻāpana meaʻai, nā bacteria, a me ka plaque hiki ʻole ke wehe ʻia me ka palaki niho. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka floss ʻana i hoʻokahi manawa i ka lā, ʻoi aku hoʻi ma mua o ka hiamoe ʻana. E nīnau i kāu kauka niho no ke ala kūpono e floss ai.
• E hoʻohana i kahi holoi waha antibacterial (e like me ke kuhikuhi a kāu kauka). Hiki i kēia ke kōkua i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana o ka plaque e hiki ai ke alakaʻi i ka maʻi ʻāʻī. Akā e hoʻomanaʻo, ʻo ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka holoi waha ʻaʻole ia e pani i ka palaki ʻana a me ka flossing. He mea hoʻohui wale nō ia. ʻAʻole pono nā kānaka a pau, no laila e nīnau i kāu kauka niho.
• E kipa aku i ke kauka niho i nā manawa maʻamau. ʻO ka maʻamau, ma ka liʻiliʻi hoʻokahi manawa i kēlā me kēia ʻeono mahina.E kiʻi i kahi hoʻomaʻemaʻe/scaling niho a me kahi nānā. ʻO kēia kahi e nānā ai kāu kauka niho i ke olakino o kou mau niho a me kou mau ʻāʻī e kōkua i ka ʻike ʻana i nā pilikia i ka wā mua. Inā ʻoi aku kou pilikia o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka maʻi ʻāʻī (e.g., inā he maʻi diabetes a puhipaka paha ʻoe), pono paha ʻoe e ʻike koke i kāu kauka niho.
• E ʻai i ka ʻai kaulike. He mea maikaʻi ka hōʻemi ʻana i nā meaʻai a me nā mea inu kō no kou mau niho a me kou mau ʻāʻī.
• E pale i ka puhipaka. ʻO ka puhipaka kahi kumu nui o ka maʻi ʻāʻī. Eia kekahi, ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o ka ho'ōla ʻana o ka maʻi ʻāʻī i nā mea puhipaka, ʻoiai inā ua mālama ʻia.

Āhea mākou e ʻike ai i ke kauka e pili ana i nā ʻāʻī?

Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kekahi a ʻoi aku paha o nā hōʻailona ma lalo nei a ʻaʻole lākou e hoʻomaikaʻi i loko o kekahi mau lā, e kamaʻilio me kāu kauka niho. He mau hōʻailona mua paha kēia o ka maʻi ʻāʻī. ʻO ka lōʻihi o kou kali ʻana, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka pilikia.

• Ke kahe ʻana o ke koko o nā ʻāʻī (i ka wā e palaki ai, e hoʻohana ana i ka flossing, a i ʻole e noho mālie ana).
• Inā ʻulaʻula nā ʻāʻī, pehu, ʻeha ke hoʻopā, a i ʻole he ʻano koʻikoʻi.
• Inā loaʻa mau iā ʻoe ka hanu ʻino, a inā he ʻono ʻino kou i loko o kou waha (e like me ka ʻōlelo a kekahi poʻe).
• Inā ʻike ʻia ka emi ʻana o nā ʻāʻī mai nā niho (hiki ke ʻike ʻia nā niho ua hoʻolōʻihi ʻia, a ʻike ʻia paha ke aʻa o nā niho).
• Inā ua hana ʻia nā hakahaka hou ma waena o nā niho, a inā paha ua nui aʻe nā hakahaka e kū nei.
• Inā manaʻo ʻoe e neʻe ana kou mau niho.
• Inā ua loli ke ʻano o kāu ʻai ʻana (ke ʻano o ka hui pū ʻana o kou mau niho, ke ʻano o kāu nau ʻana i ka meaʻai).
• Inā he mau niho kuʻi kou a ʻaʻole kūpono ia i kou manaʻo.
• Inā he mau pehu piha i ka pus ma kekahi a ʻoi aku paha mau wahi ma nā ʻāʻī.

ʻO nā hōʻailona e like me kēia ke ala a kou kino e haʻi aku ai iā ʻoe i kekahi mea. He mea naʻauao ke hoʻolohe iā ia a ʻimi i ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo loea i ka wā hikiwawe loa.
