He aha kēlā ʻili melemele ma kou mau niho? E kamaʻilio kākou e pili ana i ka plaque niho!

Ua manaʻo paha ʻoe i kahi ʻano ʻinoʻino iki, e like me kahi ʻaʻahu huluhulu liʻiliʻi ma kou mau niho ke holo ʻoe i kou alelo ma luna o lākou? A i ʻole ala ʻoe i ke kakahiaka a ʻike kou mau niho i ka pipili me kahi ʻala ʻoluʻolu ʻole? Ke nānā ʻoe i ke aniani, ua ʻike anei ʻoe i kahi mea melemele i hoʻopili ʻia i ke aʻa o kou mau niho, kokoke i nā ʻāʻī? Mai hopohopo, he mea maʻamau loa kēia no nā poʻe he nui. ʻO ia ka mea a mākou e kamaʻilio ai i kēia lā, a i ʻole e like me ka mea i kapa ʻia ma ka ʻōlelo Pelekania (Dental Plaque) . ʻOiai he mea maʻamau kēia, inā ʻaʻole mākou i ʻike a ʻaʻole mākou e kāohi iā ia, hiki iā ia ke hōʻino nui i ko mākou mau niho. No laila e kamaʻilio kākou e pili ana i nā mea āpau me ka maʻalahi a me ka maopopo i kēia lā.

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, he aha ka palaki niho?

He ʻili ʻili pipili a kala ʻole ka palaki niho e hana mau ana ma ko kākou mau niho. He nui nā bacteria i hana ʻia. E noʻonoʻo i loko o ko kākou waha he wahi e noho ai nā miliona o nā ʻano bacteria. He maikaʻi kekahi o kēia bacteria, akā he mea ʻino kekahi i ko kākou mau niho.

I kēia manawa, e nānā pehea e hana ʻia ai kēia lem.

1. ʻAi kākou: ʻO ka meaʻai a kākou e ʻai ai, ʻoiai nā mea i loaʻa ke kō a me ka mānoanoa (e laʻa me ka laiki, ka berena, nā biscuits, nā keke, nā mea inu ʻono), waiho i nā ʻāpana i loko o ko kākou waha.

2. Hoʻāla ʻia nā bacteria: ʻO nā bacteria ʻino i loko o ka waha e hana i kēia mau ʻāpana meaʻai, ʻoiai ke kō, i kā lākou meaʻai.

3. Ka hana ʻakika: Ke hoʻoheheʻe kēia mau bacteria i ke kō, hana lākou i kahi waikawa ma ke ʻano he huahana ʻaoʻao.

4. Hoʻokumu ʻia ka palaki niho: ʻO ka bacteria, ka waikawa a lākou e hana ai, nā ʻāpana meaʻai, a me ko kākou lawai e hui pū e hana i kēia palaki niho pipili.

Ua like kēia ʻili pipili me kahi palekana no ka noho ʻana o nā bacteria. No ka mea, pili ia i nā niho, ʻaʻole ia e hemo me ka holoi waha maʻamau. No ka wehe ʻana, pono mākou e palaki i ko mākou mau niho.

He aha ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o ka plaque niho a me ka tartar?

ʻO kēia kahi e huikau ai nā kānaka he nui. ʻAʻole like ka mea hoʻopili niho a me ka pōhaku, he ʻelua mau mea ʻokoʻa.

• Pāka Niho: ʻO kēia ke kahua mua. He ʻili palupalu a pipili. Hiki iā ʻoe ke wehe loa i kēia pāka ma ka palaki ʻana a me ka flossing i kou mau niho i kēlā me kēia lā.

• ʻO Tartar/Calculus: I kēia manawa e noʻonoʻo ʻoe ʻaʻole ʻoe i palaki pono i kou mau niho no kekahi mau lā. A laila, ʻo ka papa ʻāʻī palupalu ma luna o nā niho, i hui pū ʻia me nā minelala i loko o ko kākou lawai, e paʻakikī mālie a lilo i paʻakikī e like me ka pōhaku. ʻO kēlā ʻano paʻakikī ka mea a mākou e kapa nei he 'tartar'.

ʻOiai he melemele ka tartar i ka wā mua, i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa, hiki ke lilo i ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻele, i kekahi manawa he ʻeleʻele paha, ma muli o ke kī, ke kofe, a me ka puhipaka āu e inu ai. Hoʻokumu pinepine ʻia lākou ma loko o nā niho haʻahaʻa a ma waho o nā niho o luna.

Pehea e ʻike ai inā he kelu niho koʻu?

No ka mea, ʻaʻohe kala o ka sila niho, hiki ke paʻakikī ke ʻike ʻia i kekahi manawa. Akā hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike iā ia ma o kēia mau ʻano.

He aha ka mea e hana ai inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e mālama i ke kāpili niho?

Inā ʻoe e hoʻowahāwahā i nā mea hoʻopaʻa niho me ka manaʻo, "ʻAuē, he mea liʻiliʻi wale nō kēia," hiki iā ia ke alakaʻi i nā pilikia koʻikoʻi he nui. E like me ka hiki i kahi huna ahi liʻiliʻi ke lilo i ahi nui.

• Nā lua: E like me kaʻu i ʻōlelo ai ma mua, hoʻopuka ka bacteria i loko o nā ʻāʻī i ka waikawa. Hoʻomaka mālie kēia waikawa e ʻai i ka enamel, ka uhi paʻakikī o waho o kou mau niho. I ka hala ʻana o ka manawa, heheʻe ka enamel a hana ʻia kahi lua i loko o ka niho. ʻO ia ka mea a mākou e kapa nei he pala niho.

• Maʻi ʻāʻī: ʻO kēia kekahi o nā hopena weliweli loa o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana o nā niho.
• Pae 1 - Gingivitis: Ke hōʻiliʻili ka palaki ma ka laina ʻāʻī, pehu nā ʻāʻī. ʻO ke ʻano kēia e lilo lākou i ʻulaʻula, pehu, a kahe ke koko ke palaki ʻoe i kou mau niho. ʻO kēia ka pae mua o ka maʻi ʻāʻī. ʻO ka mea maikaʻi loa, ma kēia pae, hiki i ka palaki pono ʻana a me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i nā niho ke ho'ōla loa i kēia maʻi.
• Ke kahua koʻikoʻi - Periodontitis: Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e mālama i ka Gingivitis, hiki iā ia ke lilo i maʻi koʻikoʻi i kapa ʻia ʻo Periodontitis. ʻO kēia ka manawa e laha ai ka maʻi ma o nā ʻāʻī a luku i ka iwi a me nā ligaments e paʻa ana i nā niho. Hiki i kēia ke alakaʻi i kahi ʻeke ma waena o ka niho a me ka ʻāʻī, kahi e hiki ai i nā niho ke wehe a hāʻule i waho.

• Niho ʻeha: Hiki i ka pala niho ke komo hohonu i loko o ka niho, e hana ana i kahi maʻi ma ke aʻa o ka niho. He kūlana kēia e hoʻoulu ai i ka ʻeha nui.

• Hanu ʻino: Ke hōʻiliʻili ʻia ke kāpili, piʻi pū ka hanu ʻino.

He aha kā mākou e hana ai ma ka home e kāohi ai i ka plaque niho?

ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ʻo ka palaki niho kahi mea hiki iā mākou ke mālama pono ma ka home. ʻAʻole ia e koi i kekahi mea nui, he mau hana maʻalahi wale nō i kēlā me kēia lā.

1. Ka palaki pono ʻana i kou mau niho

ʻO kēia ka mea nui loa.

• E palaki i kou mau niho i ʻelua manawa i ka lā: ma ka liʻiliʻi i ke kakahiaka a ma mua o ka hiamoe ʻana i ka pō, no ka liʻiliʻi he ʻelua mau minuke .
• ʻO ka toothpaste kūpono: E hoʻohana i ka toothpaste i loaʻa ka fluoride . Hoʻoikaika ka Fluoride i ka enamel niho a hōʻemi i ka hana bacteria.
• He palaki palupalu: Manaʻo ka poʻe he nui e hoʻomaʻemaʻe pono ka palaki ʻana me ka palaki paʻakikī i ko lākou mau niho. He hewa kēlā. Hiki i ka palaki ʻana me ka palaki paʻakikī ke hōʻino i kou ʻāʻī a me kou mau niho. No laila e koho mau i kahi palaki palupalu.
• ʻO ke ala kūpono:E kau i ka palaki ma kahi kihi 45-degere kahi e hui ai nā niho a me nā ʻāʻī, a palaki mālie me nā neʻe liʻiliʻi a pōʻai. Pono ʻoe e palaki pono i nā ʻili nau a pau, ke kua, a me loko o kou mau niho.

2. E holoi i ka floss i kēlā me kēia lā

ʻAʻole hiki i nā huluhulu o ka palaki ke hiki i nā hakahaka haiki ma waena o nā niho ʻelua. ʻO ia kahi e paʻa ai ka nui o ke kāpili a me nā ʻāpana meaʻai.

• ʻO ka flossing ka hana o ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana ma waena o kou mau niho me ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi kaula kūikawā. ʻO ka flossing ma ka liʻiliʻi hoʻokahi manawa i ka lā, ʻoiai ma mua o kou hiamoe ʻana, hiki ke kōkua i ka wehe ʻana i ka plaque i hiki ʻole i kāu palaki niho ke wehe. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i ka floss niho ma nā hale kūʻai lāʻau lapaʻau. Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe ʻike pehea e hoʻohana ai, e nīnau i kāu kauka niho.

3. ʻAi

ʻO ka mea āu e ʻai ai e hoʻopilikia pololei i ke olakino o kou mau niho.

• E hōʻemi i ke kō a me ka starch: E hōʻemi i kāu ʻai ʻana i nā mea inu kō, toffee, kokoleka, keke, a me nā biscuits i ka hiki. Inā ʻai ʻoe i kēia mau mea, e holoi koke i kou waha a palaki paha i kou mau niho.
• ʻAi i nā mea maikaʻi: ʻO nā mea kanu, nā huaʻai (e like me nā ʻāpala a me nā kāloti), ka tīhi, ka waiū, a me ka yogurt he mea maikaʻi ia no kou mau niho. Hoʻonui lākou i ka hana ʻana o ka lawai a kōkua i ka hoʻēmi ʻana i ka waikawa i loko o kou waha.

4. Ke kipa ʻana i ke kauka niho

ʻAʻole pili i ka maikaʻi o kāu palaki ʻana i kou mau niho, aia nō paha kekahi mau wahi kahi e noho ai ka plaque a lilo i tartar.

• He mea nui loa ke ʻike ʻana i ke kauka niho ma ka liʻiliʻi hoʻokahi manawa i ka makahiki no ka nānā ʻana a me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻoihana (scaling a me ka polishing). Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe ka maʻi ʻāʻī, e noi paha kāu kauka iā ʻoe e hele mai i kēlā me kēia 6 mahina. Mai makaʻu e ʻike i kāu kauka a loaʻa ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo.
