E aʻo kākou e pili ana i ka toothpaste kūikawā (Sodium Fluoride Paste) a nā kauka i kuhikuhi ai e pale aku i ka pala niho a me nā lua.

I kekahi manawa ke palaki mākou i ko mākou niho a inu paha i ka wai anuanu, mae wale ko mākou niho, ʻeā? A i ʻole he pilikia mau anei ka palaho niho nou? I nā manawa e like me kēia, ua haʻi aku paha kāu kauka iā ʻoe e hoʻohana i kahi toothpaste kūikawā i ʻokoʻa iki mai kāu toothpaste maʻamau. I kēia lā ke kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana i ka toothpaste i loaʻa ka sodium fluoride, kahi ʻano toothpaste lāʻau lapaʻau. He mea kēia i kuhikuhi ʻia e ke kauka ma mua o ke kūʻai ʻia mai kahi hale kūʻai maʻamau.

He aha kēia toothpaste sodium fluoride?

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, he lāʻau lapaʻau kūikawā kēia e kōkua i ka pale ʻana i ka pala niho a hōʻemi i ka ʻike o ka niho. He mineral kūlohelohe ka Fluoride he mea nui loa ia no ke olakino o ko kākou mau niho a me nā iwi.

E noʻonoʻo i ko kākou mau niho e like me ka paia. ʻO ka hana a kēia lāʻau lapaʻau i kapa ʻia ʻo fluoride, ʻo ia ke hāʻawi ʻana i kēlā paia i kahi uhi pale ikaika. A laila, ʻoi aku ka ikaika o ka ʻāpana ikaika ma waho o ka niho, ʻo ia hoʻi ka enamel. Hoʻemi kēia i ka manawa kūpono o nā mea e like me ka bacteria e luku ai i ka niho. Kāohi pū ia i ka palaho niho.

Nā mea e haʻi aku i kāu kauka ma mua o ka hoʻohana ʻana i kēia lāʻau lapaʻau

Ma mua o ke kuhikuhi ʻana i kēia toothpaste iā ʻoe, e nīnau kāu kauka iā ʻoe i kekahi mau nīnau. Pono ʻoe e kūkākūkā i kēia ʻike me kāu kauka.

Pehea maoli ʻoe e hoʻohana ai i kēia?

He mea nui loa ka ʻike pehea e hoʻohana pono ai i kēia. Inā ʻaʻole haʻi aku kāu kauka iā ʻoe, e hahai i kēia mau ʻanuʻu.

1. E hoʻopili i kahi lipine lahilahi o kēia toothpaste i kāu palaki niho, e like me ka nui o ka pī, e pololei. Mai hoʻohana nui.

2. E palaki pono i kou mau niho i hoʻokahi manawa i ka lā no ʻelua mau minuke . ʻO ka manawa kūpono loa e hana ai i kēia ma mua o ka hiamoe ʻana i ka pō .

3. ʻO kēia ka mea nui loa. Inā he kanaka makua ʻoe , ma hope o ka palaki ʻana i kou mau niho, e kuha i waho i kekahi toothpaste i loko o kou waha.

4. Mai holoi i kou waha, inu wai, a ʻai paha i kekahi mea ʻē aʻe no 30 mau minuke ma hope. ʻO kēia ke hāʻawi i ka lāʻau i ka manawa e noho ai ma kou mau niho a hana pono.

5. He ʻokoʻa kēia ʻōlelo aʻo i ka wā e hāʻawi ʻia ai i nā keiki. No nā keiki ma waena o 6 a me 16 mau makahiki, ma hope o ka palaki ʻana i ko lākou mau niho a me ke kuha ʻana i ka toothpaste, pono lākou e holoi pono i ko lākou waha me ka wai .

E akahele loa i ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā keiki liʻiliʻi.

Pono e hoʻohana mau ʻia kēia toothpaste i nā keiki ma luna o 6 mau makahiki, akā ma lalo o ka nānā ʻana a ke kauka wale nō. Pono ʻoe e hōʻoia ʻaʻole e ale ke keiki iā ia. Inā ale ʻia i kēlā me kēia lā no ka manawa lōʻihi, hiki ke hana i nā ʻano ʻē (nā kiko keʻokeʻo a ʻeleʻele paha) i loko o ka enamel niho.

He aha inā e hoʻohana nui ʻia ma ke kuhihewa?

Inā ʻoe e ale hewa i ka nui o kēia, mai hopohopo. E hele koke i ka ʻOihana Pilikia (ETU) o ka haukapila kokoke loa iā ʻoe. A i ʻole e kelepona i ke Kikowaena ʻIke ʻAi Poisons Lahui ma ka Halemai Lahui ʻo Colombo no ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo.

He aha nā hopena ʻaoʻao e hiki ke loaʻa mai kēia lāʻau lapaʻau?

E like me nā lāʻau lapaʻau āpau, hiki i kēia ke hana i nā hopena ʻaoʻao liʻiliʻi i kekahi poʻe. E nānā kākou i ke ʻano o lākou.

ʻAʻole i hoʻokomo ʻia nā hopena ʻaoʻao āpau i kēia papa inoa. Inā ʻike ʻoe i kekahi mea ʻē, e kamaʻilio me kāu kauka e pili ana i ia mea.

He aha hou aʻe kaʻu e pono ai e ʻike?

• E hana i nā hoʻokolohua niho maʻamau: He mea nui e ʻike pinepine i kāu kauka niho e nānā i ke kūlana o kou mau niho.
• Mai kaʻana like: He lāʻau lapaʻau kēia i kuhikuhi ʻia nou wale nō. Mai ʻae i kekahi poʻe ʻē aʻe i loko o ka hale e hoʻohana, ʻoiai inā loaʻa iā lākou ka pilikia like.
• Ka Mālama ʻana: E mālama ma ka mahana o ka lumi (20-25 kekelē Celsius) ma kahi hiki ʻole i nā keiki a me nā holoholona ke loaʻa. E pani pono i ke poʻi ma hope o ka hoʻohana ʻana. E hoʻolei i ke koena o ka huahana ma hope o ka lā pau.
