Kia ora! Kei te pēhea koe i tēnei rā? I tēnei rā, ka kōrero tātou mō tētahi mea tino nui e warewarehia ana e tātou: te pupuri i te hauora o ō niho. E aroha ana te katoa ki te ataata kanapa, ā, he mea nui te whai niho hauora hei kai i ō kai tino pai. Ki te kore koe e tiaki tika i ō niho, tera pea ka pāngia koe e ngā raruraru pēnei i te pakaru o ngā niho, te mate kapia rānei. Me tūhura tātou me pēhea te tiaki i tō ataata!
He aha te 'Plaque', ā, me pēhea tōna hanganga?
I te whakarapopototanga, he kiriuhi piri, kore tae o ngā huakita e hanga tonu ana ki ō niho. Whai muri i tō kai—ina koa ko ngā kai huka—ka mahi ēnei huakita. Ka nakunakuhia e rātou ngā huka, ka whakaputa waikawa. Mā ēnei waikawa ka memeha haere tō enamel, te paparanga mārō, tiaki o waho o ō niho. Koinei tonu te whanaketanga o ngā poka ("pira niho").
Ehara i te mea ko te paraka anake te take o ngā poka; koinei anō te tino take o te mate kapia e kiia nei ko te gingivitis. Ka taea e tēnei te whero, te pupuhi, me te ngāwari ki te toto i ō kapia ina paraihia e koe. Kua kite koe i tēnei i ngā wā tata nei? Mena koinā, ko te paraka pea te take.
Me pēhea te tango i te papaki?
Hei ārai i ngā poka me ngā mate kapia, me tango e koe te paraka. Ko ngā tikanga e rua tino nui ko te paraihe niho me te miro niho.
Te paraihe:
Me parai ō niho kia rua ngā wā i te rā, kia rua ngā wā. Ehara i te mea ka tangohia noa te paraka; engari ka whakaoho anō hoki i ō kapia, ka āwhina kia ora tonu.
Te miro:
Me miro niho koe i te iti rawa kotahi i te rā. Ka kōrerohia tēnei e tātou i roto i ngā taipitopito a mua tata nei.
Ko ēnei tikanga e rua ngā mahi tino nui ka taea e koe te mahi mō tō hauora waha.
Whakamahia te paraihe niho whai fluoride:
Hei ārai i te pirau, he mea nui kia whakamahia he paraihe niho kei roto te fluoride. Tirohia tonu te tapanga kia mōhio ai kei roto i tō paraihe niho tēnei matū tiaki.
Te mahi ki te 'Tartar':
Ki te roa rawa te noho o te paraka ki ō niho, ka whakapakeketia hei tartar. He uaua ake te tango i te tartar i te paraka, ā, he kino ake ki ō niho. Ka āwhina pea te whakamahi i ngā paraihe niho me ngā horoi waha ārai-tartar. Hei tāpiri, mā te whakapau i te wā roa ki te parai i ngā wāhi e tata ana ki ō repe huware (ina koa ko te tuara o ō niho o raro me te taha waho o ō niho niho o runga) ka āwhina i te whakahaere i te hanga tartar.
Ā, me pēhea ngā niho tairongo?
Ki te pāngia koe e te mamae, te kare rānei i te koi ina kai koe i ngā kai wera, i ngā kai makariri rānei, ina pēhia rānei he niho, tera pea he niho tairongo ōu. He paraihe niho motuhake kua hangaia hei āwhina i tēnei.
Heoi, he mea nui tēnei: Tena koa whakapā atu ki tō tākuta niho i te tuatahi. Tērā pea he tohu tēnei o te poka, o te raruraru io rānei. Kaua e ngana ki te rongoā i a koe anō me te kore he tātaritanga ngaio.
He aha te huarahi tika mō te paraihe?
E taunaki ana ngā tākuta niho kia paraihe ō niho kia rua ngā wā i te rā , kia rua meneti pea te iti rawa i ia paraihe. Anei te tikanga pai rawa atu:
- Puritia tō paraihe niho ki te koki 45-tohu ki ō kapia. Whakamahia he nekehanga mārie, poto, me te arotahi ki te niho kotahi i ia wā.
- Kia maumahara: Kaua e parai rawa. Mā te kaha rawa ka heke te kapia, ka māuiui ngā niho, ka marere hoki ngā niho i roto i te wā. Whakaarohia he rite ki te horoi, ehara i te mea he mirimiri.
- Horoia ngā mata o waho, o roto, me ngā mata ngaungau o ō niho katoa. Kaua e wareware ki te toro atu ki ngā rua me ngā kapiti iti i waenganui i ngā niho.
- Horoia mārire hoki tō arero.
- Hei āwhina i a koe ki te parai i ō niho mō ngā meneti e rua, e toru rānei, whakamahia he taima, whakarongo rānei ki tāu waiata tino pai. Kei roto i ētahi paraihe niho hiko he taima hei whakamōhio atu ki a koe ina pau te wā.
He mea tino tika te whakamahi i te miro niho?
"Ae rā!" He tokomaha e whakaaro ana he nui te paraihe niho anake, engari he kōrero pakiwaitara tēnā. Ahakoa he mea nui te paraihe, kāore e taea te tango i te paraka me ngā para kai i waenganui i ō niho, i te rārangi kapia rānei. Ka tae te miro niho ki ēnei wāhi kuiti. Me miro niho koe i te iti rawa kotahi i te rā.
Kia tūpato kei whara ō kapia i a koe e miro ana i ō niho. Whakamātauria tēnei tikanga:
- Tangohia he miro miro ka āta nekehia ki waenganui i ngā niho e rua mā te neke whakamua, whakamua.
- Āta nukuhia te miro niho ki te raina o ngā kapia, engari kaua e pēhia ki ngā kapia.
- Pīrorihia te miro niho kia rite ki te āhua "C" ki te taha o te niho, ka mirimiri mārire ki runga, ki raro.
- Whakahoutia tēnei mō ia niho. Tērā pea ka ahua mārō i te tīmatanga, engari ka māmā noa iho mā te whakaharatau.
Ka taea e au te whakama i ōku niho?
He pātai noa tēnei i ēnei rā. He maha ngā paraihe niho e kī ana ka whakama ngā niho. Mena kei roto i ēnei hua te fluoride, ā, he whai hua ki te ārai i te paraka me te tartar, he haumaru te whakamahi. Rapua te hiri whakaae a te American Dental Association, e tohu ana he haumaru, he whai hua hoki te hua.
Heoi, he tokomaha ngā taiohi kāore e hiahia ana ki te whakama, nā te mea ka puta te kōwhai māori i te kaumātuatanga. Ahakoa pēhea, ki te hiahia koe ki te whakama, kia maumahara ki tēnei:
Ki te mea kāore ō niho i te mā rawa, me kōrero tonu ki tō tākuta niho i mua i te whakamahi i ngā hua whakama niho e hokona kore ana. Ka pā kino pea ētahi ki ō kapia, ka whakanui ake rānei i te aro o te niho. Ka taea e tō tākuta niho te tūtohu i ngā maimoatanga ngaio he haumaru ake, ā, he pai ake ngā hua i ngā whiringa kua hokona i te toa.
Ka pāngia ōku niho e taku kai?
"Āe, tino tika!" E mōhio ana pea koe ko te huka te tino take o ngā poka. Engari ehara i te nui o te huka anake; engari ko te auau hoki o te kai i taua huka.
Ki te kai koe i ngā kai reka, i ngā inu reka rānei i te roanga o te rā, kei te whāngai tonu koe i ngā huakita i roto i tō waha. Ka nui ake te tūponotanga o te pakaru o te waha. He tino kino ngā monamona reka, ngā rongoā maremare, me ngā miniti manawa e memeha haere ana i roto i tō waha. Ko te tohutohu pai ko te karo i te kai reka i waenga i ngā kai.
Ki te pāngia koe e tētahi āhuatanga ohorere o te niho, whakapā atu ki te tākuta niho tonu atu, toro atu rānei ki te tari ohorere tata rawa atu.
He iti ake te kino o te kai i ngā kai huka, māngaro rānei ki ō niho i te kai i aua kai anake. Nā te mea ka whakaoho te kai i te rere o te huware, ka āwhina i te horoi i ngā huka me ngā huakita. He tino kino te kai i ngā mea reka i mua tonu i te moe—ina koa mēnā ka mutu te parai i muri—nā te mea ka tino heke te hanga huware i a koe e moe ana.
E mōhio ana mātou he uaua te whakarērea rawatia o ngā mea reka, nō reira kia maumahara ki ēnei tohutohu:
- Kia pai te kai i ngā warowaihā — arā, ngā huka me ngā māngaro — hei wāhanga o te kai matua i ngā wā katoa e taea ai.
- Ki te kore e taea e koe te parai i ō niho i muri tonu i te kai, horoia tō waha ki te wai, ki te wai horoi waha rānei, ngaungauhia rānei he kapia kore huka.
- Kaua e kai i ngā kai reka i waenganui i ngā kai.
- Ki te hiahia koe i tētahi kai mātotoru, whiriwhiria ngā kai iti te huka pērā i te tīhi, te pōporo, ngā huawhenua mata, te miraka kawa rānei.
Āhea koe me toro atu ki tō tākuta niho?
He tokomaha te hunga ka kite i te tākuta niho ina mamae kē rātou. Heoi, me whai koe ki te toro atu ki tō tākuta niho i te iti rawa i ia ono marama hei tiaki i a rātou anō. Ko te whāinga kia kitea me te ārai i te pirau niho, te mate kapia, me ētahi atu raruraru ka pā kino ki tō hauora waha.
Anei ngā mea ka taea e koe te tumanako i tō haerenga tuatahi:
Ko te tikanga he toru ngā wāhanga:
1. Hītori Hauora me te Hītori Niho: Ka pātai atu tō tākuta niho, tō kaiwhakaora niho rānei mō tō mahi tiaki niho, ā, ka arotakehia e ia ō tuhinga niho o mua.
2. Whakamātautau Niho: Ka tirotirohia ō niho, ō kapia, me ētahi atu kiko o te waha.
3. Te Horoi Ngaio: Ka horoia ō niho e te tohunga hei tango i te paru kua puea ake.
Ngā mea e rapuhia ana e te taote niho:
Ka tirohia e tō tākuta niho ō niho me ō kapia anake, engari ko ngā hononga o ō kauae anō hoki. Mā te whakamahi i tētahi whakaata iti me tētahi taputapu tirotiro, ka tirohia e rātou te wāhanga e kitea ana o ia niho (te karauna) mō te paraka, te nekenekehanga, me te pirau. Ka arotakehia hoki e rātou tō aukati (te ngau tahi o ō niho).
Me mārō, me māwhero hoki ō kapia, kaua e ngohengohe, kaua e pupuhi, kaua hoki e whero. Ka whakamahia e te tākuta niho, e te tākuta horoi tinana rānei he taputapu hei ine i te hohonutanga o te sulcus—te wāhi iti e tūtaki ai te niho ki te kapia. Ko ngā wāhi hohonu ake, e mōhiotia ana ko ngā pōke, he tohu pea tēnei o te mate kapia.
I ētahi wā, ka tangohia pea e te tākuta niho he hihi-X hei tirotiro mō te pirau huna, ngā whewhe (ngā putunga mate), ngā raruraru rānei ki ō niho whakaaro nui.
Te Horoi Niho:
Ko te tango i te paraka me te tartar ka mahia e te tohunga akuaku niho whai raihana.
I muri i te horoinga, ka whakakanapahia ō niho e te tohunga horoi niho, ka waiho te mata kia maeneene, kia ma, ka āwhina ki te tango i ngā paru me te ārai i te piri anō o te parakihe. Hei whakamutunga, ka pania pea e rātou he maimoatanga fluoride, he hiri rānei hei āwhina i te ārai i ngā poka niho a muri ake nei.
Mā tō tākuta niho e kōrero ngā whakakī e tika ana. Mena kei te hiahia koe ki ngā whitiki niho, ki te uaua ake rānei ō raruraru, ka tukuna pea koe ki tētahi tākuta niho whakahāngai.
I tua atu i ēnei tirotiro e ono marama te roa, me toro atu ki tō tākuta niho tonu mēnā ka kite koe i tētahi mamae rerekē, i tētahi huringa rānei ki ō niho, ki ō kapia, ki tō kauae rānei.
Te Kaupapa Matua (Karere hei Whakahoki ki te Kāinga)
Hei whakarāpopototanga, koinei ngā mahi pai rawa atu ka taea e koe te mahi mō te ataata hauora:
- Paraia ō niho kia rua ngā wā i te rā, kia rua meneti pea te roa, mā te whakamahi i te paraihe niho he fluoride .
- Mirohia ō niho i te iti rawa kotahi i te rā. He mea nui te horoi i waenga i ō niho.
- Whakaitihia ngā kai me ngā inu huka, inā koa hei paramanawa i waenga i ngā kai.
- Haere ki tō tākuta niho i ia ono marama, kaua e tatari kia puta he raruraru.
- Ki te pāngia koe e te mamae, e te kitenga rānei i tētahi mea rerekē ki ō niho, ki ō kapia rānei, rapua tonutia he awhina ngaio.
