Ola kino kou ʻāʻī? (Nā ʻāʻī Ola Kino) E ʻike pono kākou!

Ua ʻike anei ʻoe i ka wā e palaki ai ʻoe i kou mau niho a kuha i loko o ka poho holoi, puka mai kahi koko liʻiliʻi? A i ʻole ke ʻano ʻulaʻula a pehu iki paha kou mau ʻāʻī ke nānā aku ʻoe iā lākou me kāu mau aniani? ʻAʻole nui ka poʻe o kākou e nānā nui i kēia a manaʻo he mea maʻamau ia, akā hiki ke lilo i hōʻailona koʻikoʻi loa e pili ana i ko kākou olakino waha. No laila i kēia lā, e kamaʻilio kākou e pili ana i kēia mau ʻāʻī makamae e pale ai i ko kākou mau niho.

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, he aha kēia ʻūpā?

ʻO nā ʻāʻī ka ʻiʻo poni e hoʻopuni ana i ko kākou mau niho ma ko kākou ʻāʻī luna a me lalo. E like me ke kanu ʻia ʻana o kahi mea kanu i ka lepo, ua pili ko kākou mau niho i ka iwi ʻāʻī a pale ʻia e kēia mau ʻāʻī. Inā ʻoe e hāpai a hoʻohaʻahaʻa i kou mau lehelehe, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike maikaʻi i kēia mau ʻāʻī.

ʻAʻole lākou he ʻili poni wale nō. ʻO ka hana nui o nā ʻāʻī, ʻo ia ke pale a uhi i nā ʻāpana fibrous palupalu o ko mākou mau niho e pili ana i ka iwi ʻauwae. Kōkua pū lākou i ke kū ʻana i ke kaomi e hiki mai ana ma luna o ko mākou mau niho i ka wā e ʻai ai a kamaʻilio ai.

Inā ʻoe e nānā i loko o kou waha, e ʻike paha ʻoe i nā ʻāpana e like me kēia:

• ʻO ka membrane ma waena o kou mau lehelehe a me kou ʻāʻī: Aia kahi membrane lahilahi e hoʻopili ana i kou mau lehelehe o luna a me lalo i kou mau ʻāʻī, ʻeā? ʻO ia ka ʻāpana.
• ʻĀʻī interdental: ʻO ka ʻāpana triangular o ka ʻāʻī ma waena o nā niho ʻelua.
• Nā ʻāʻī i hoʻopili ʻia i ka niho: Ua hoʻopili paʻa ʻia kēia ʻāpana i ka niho a me ka iwi ʻāwae ma lalo.
• ʻAʻa ʻole i pili i ka niho: ʻO ka laina ʻaʻa a puni ka ʻāʻī o ka niho i wehe iki ʻia. Ke nānā ke kauka niho i kou ʻaʻa, hoʻokomo lākou i kahi mea hana palupalu e nānā i ke olakino o kēia wahi.

He aha ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o nā ʻāʻī olakino a me nā ʻāʻī maʻi?

He maʻalahi ke ʻike i nā ʻāʻī olakino. He poni māmā lākou, paʻa i ka pā, a pili pono a puni nā niho. ʻO ka mea nui loa, ʻaʻole e kahe ke koko o nā ʻāʻī olakino i ka wā e palaki ai ʻoe i kou mau niho a i ʻole i ka wā e palaki ai ʻoe i kou mau niho.

Eia nō naʻe, loli kēia ʻano ke hoʻomaka ka maʻi ʻana o nā ʻāʻī. Hiki ke hoʻomaopopo maopopo ʻia kēia ʻokoʻa mai ka papa ma lalo.

Pehea e ulu ai ka maʻi ʻāʻī? He aha nā ʻano nui?

ʻO ke kumu nui o ka maʻi ʻāʻī, ʻo ia ka plaque, he ʻili ʻili pipili a kala ʻole e hana ʻia ma ko kākou mau niho i ka wā e ʻai ai kākou, me nā bacteria. Inā ʻaʻole e hoʻomaʻemaʻe pono ʻia kēia, e mānoanoa mālie ia a lilo i tartar . He mea paʻakikī ʻo Tartar, e like me ka pōhaku, ʻaʻole hiki ke wehe ʻia me ka palaki niho.

ʻO kēia ma muli o nā mea ʻawahia i hoʻokuʻu ʻia e ka bacteria i loko o nā ʻāʻī a me ka plaque e hōʻino ai i ka ʻāʻī. Hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia kēia kūlana i ʻelua mau pae nui.

1. ʻO ka maʻi ʻōpū

ʻO kēia ke kahua mua o ka maʻi ʻāʻī. I kēia manawa, lilo nā ʻāʻī i maʻi ma muli o ka palaki niho, e hoʻoulu ai iā lākou e pehu, ʻulaʻula, a hoʻomaka e kahe ke koko ke palaki ʻoe i kou mau niho. He maʻi maʻamau loa kēia. He hapa nui o nā pākeke ma ka honua i loaʻa i kēia maʻi.

2. ʻO ka maʻi periodontitis

E noʻonoʻo he gingivitis kou, akā hoʻowahāwahā ʻoe. He aha ka mea e hana ʻia a laila? E hohonu mālie ana ka maʻi i loko o nā ʻāʻī. Hoʻokumu ʻia nā ʻeke liʻiliʻi ma waena o ka niho a me ka ʻāʻī, a hōʻiliʻili hou aku ka plaque a me nā bacteria i loko o lākou.

ʻO kēia ke kahua weliweli loa o ka maʻi ʻāʻī . No ka mea, ʻaʻole i kaupalena ʻia kēia maʻi i nā ʻāʻī wale nō. Hoʻomaka pū ia e hōʻino i ka iwi ʻāʻī e paʻa ai nā niho. I ka hala ʻana o ka manawa, e heheʻe ana kēia iwi. He aha ka mea e hana ai? E nalowale ana ke kākoʻo o nā niho, e hoʻomaka ana e wehe, a hiki ke hāʻule i waho .

ʻO ka periodontitis kekahi o nā kumu nui o ka nalowale ʻana o nā niho inā ʻaʻole mālama ʻia, no laila mai hoʻowahāwahā i ke kahe ʻana o nā ʻāʻī.

He aha kā kākou e hana ai e mālama i ke olakino o ko kākou mau ʻāʻī?

ʻAʻole kēia he mea paʻakikī e like me kou manaʻo. Inā ʻoe e hoʻolaʻa i kahi manawa liʻiliʻi i kēlā me kēia lā a hahai i nā hana hoʻomaʻemaʻe waha kūpono, hiki iā ʻoe ke mālama i nā ʻāʻī olakino.

• E palaki i kou mau niho i ʻelua manawa i ka lā: E palaki i kou mau niho me ka toothpaste fluoride i ke kakahiaka a i ka pō ma mua o ka hiamoe ʻana. ʻO ka mea nui loa ke ʻano o kou palaki ʻana. E paʻa i ka palaki niho ma kahi kihi 45-degere i ka laina ʻāʻī a palaki mālie me nā neʻe liʻiliʻi a pōʻai . E kōkua kēia i ka wehe ʻana i ka plaque mai ka laina ʻāʻī.
• ʻO ka flossing: He mea nui kēia e wehe i nā ʻāpana meaʻai a me ka plaque niho i paʻa ma waena o kou mau niho i hiki ʻole i kāu palaki niho ke hiki aku. He manaʻo maikaʻi e hana i kēia ma ka liʻiliʻi hoʻokahi manawa i ka lā. He mea paʻakikī iki paha i ka wā mua, akā i ka wā e maʻa ai ʻoe, ua maʻalahi loa.
• E hoʻohana i kahi holoi waha antibacterial: ʻO ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi holoi waha e like me kēia ma hope o ka palaki ʻana a me ka flossing hiki ke kōkua i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana o ka plaque ma kou mau niho. Eia nō naʻe, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kūkākūkā ʻana me kāu kauka niho e pili ana i kēia.
• E ʻike pinepine i kāu kauka niho: He mea nui e ʻike i kāu kauka niho ma ka liʻiliʻi i kēlā me kēia 6 mahina no ka nānā ʻana a me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i nā niho (scaling). Inā ʻoi aku kou maʻalahi i ka maʻi ʻāʻī, e ʻōlelo paha kāu kauka e hele koke aku.

I ka manawa hea he mea nui e mālama pono i kou mau ʻāʻī?

Inā hoʻomau ʻoe i kekahi o nā hōʻailona ma lalo nei, mai hoʻowahāwahā iā lākou. Mai noho wale ma ka home a manaʻo, "Ua maikaʻi," akā e ʻike koke i ke kauka niho .

• Inā kahe mau ke koko o kou mau niho i kou wā e palaki ai.
• Inā ʻulaʻula nā ʻāʻī, pehu, a ʻeha .
• Inā ʻike ʻia e emi ana nā ʻāʻī mai nā niho aku.
• Inā he hanu ʻino mau kou .
• Inā puka mai ka pus mai nā ʻāʻī.
• Ke haʻalulu nei nā niho.Inā manaʻo ia e like me a inā paha e hoʻonui ʻia ana ka hakahaka ma waena o kou mau niho.

Inā makemake kākou e mālama i nā niho e hoʻonani ai i ko kākou minoʻaka a kōkua iā kākou e hauʻoli i ka meaʻai a kākou e ʻai ai no ke ola holoʻokoʻa, pono nō hoʻi kākou e mālama i nā ʻāʻī e hoʻopaʻa ana i kēlā mau niho.
