Masifunde ngakumbi nge-enamel, ekhusela ubuhle kunye namandla amazinyo akho!

Ngaba wakha wazibuza ukuba amazinyo akho aqine kangaka? Ngubani okhusela amazinyo ethu kwizinto esizityayo nesiziselayo, kwizinto ezibandayo nezishushu? Yiyo loo nto amazinyo ethu enomaleko okhuselayo okhethekileyo noqinileyo obizwa ngokuba yi-'Enamel'. Le enamel ifana neqhawe lamazinyo ethu. Masithethe ngale qhawe lethu namhlanje.

Ngoko ke yintoni le enamel?

Ngamafutshane, i-enamel sisigqubuthelo esikhuselayo esiqinileyo phezulu kwezinyo lakho. Inxalenye yezinyo onokuyibona esipilini (inxalenye engentla kwentsini), esikwayibiza ngokuba yi-tooth crown, yile nto ibekwe kuyo le enamel. Okumangalisayo kukuba, le enamel yeyona nto inamandla emzimbeni wethu! Ewe, inamandla kunamathambo akho! Ungacinga ngamandla ayo? Kodwa nangona inamandla kangaka, isenokonakala ukuba awulumkanga.

Yintoni umsebenzi oyintloko we-enamel?

Umsebenzi ophambili we-enamel kukukhusela iindawo ezibuthathaka ngaphakathi kwamazinyo ethu - umaleko we-dentin phantsi komngxuma wamazinyo kunye ne-pulp yamazinyo ngaphakathi - kwiintlobo ezahlukeneyo zomonakalo. Makhe sijonge ukuba ikhusela ntoni:

• Ukubola kwamazinyo (iimbobo): Amazinyo atshatyalaliswa zii-asidi eziveliswa ziibhaktheriya ezidibana neswekile ekutyeni esikutyayo.
• Ukuguguleka/ukuguguleka: Amazinyo ayaguguleka ngenxa yokutya okuthile kunye neziselo, ezifana netshungama.
• Usulelo: Usulelo lwenzeka xa iintsholongwane zingena emazinyweni.
• Uvakalelo lwamazinyo: Oku kubhekisa kwimvakalelo engaqhelekanga yokurhawuzelela emazinyweni xa kutyiwa okanye kuselwa into eshushu, ebandayo, okanye emnandi.

Yenziwe ngantoni i-enamel?

Akumangalisi na ukuba into enamandla kangaka inamandla kangaka? I-enamel yenziwe kakhulu ziiminerali ezingama-95% ezibizwa ngokuba yi-calcium kunye ne-phosphorus . Ezi minerali zidibana zenze izakhiwo ezincinci ezifana nekristale, esizibiza ngokuba yi-"crystallites." Ezinye, malunga ne-4% yamanzi kunye ne-1% yeproteni, zenza i-enamel.

Ijongeka njani i-enamel?

I-enamel eneneni ayibonakali ngokupheleleyo . Oko kuthetha ukuba ayibonakali ngokupheleleyo kwaye ayibonakali ngokupheleleyo, ivumela ukukhanya kungene. Umbala womaleko we-dentin phantsi kwe-enamel ngokwenene umisela umbala wamazinyo ethu. Ingahluka ukusuka kumhlophe ongwevu ukuya kumthubi okhanyayo. Ngoko ke, indibaniselwano ye-enamel kunye ne-dentin inika amazinyo akho loo mbala mhle nowahlukileyo.

Yintoni ebangela ukuba i-enamel yamazinyo iguge?

Nangona inamandla kangaka, i-enamel inokonakala ngokuhamba kwexesha. Kulapho ke iingxaki ziqala khona. Makhe sijonge izizathu eziphambili zokuba i-enamel ibola:

• Izinto ezichaphazela okusingqongileyo:Ukutshixiza amazinyo nje, uxinzelelo esilubeka kwizinto xa sihlafuna, kunye nokuguguleka okubangelwa kukusetyenziswa kwamazinyo imihla ngemihla.
• Ukugaya okanye ukuqhina amazinyo (`Bruxism`): Abanye abantu baqhina amazinyo abo ebuthongweni, akunjalo? Okanye baqhina amazinyo abo emini bengaqondanga. Oko akulunganga nakwi-enamel, kwaye inokuguga ngokuhamba kwexesha.
• Iziselo ezineswekile: Ukusela rhoqo iziselo ezineswekile ezifana nesoda kunye neziselo zeziqhamo ezipakishiweyo. Iswekile kwezi ziselo idibana neebhaktheriya emlonyeni ukuze zenze iiasidi, ezinyibilikisa i-enamel.
• Ukutya okuneswekile eninzi okanye istatshi: Ukutya iilekese, iibhisikithi, iikeyiki, kunye nokunye ukutya okunestatshi eninzi (njengesonka nerayisi) rhoqo kuyingozi nakwi-enamel.
• Ukutya okune-asidi: Ukutya iilekese ezimuncu kakhulu, ukutya okusekwe kwiviniga, kunye neziqhamo ezithile (ezifana neelamuni kunye neeorenji) nako kunokonakalisa i-enamel.
• Amayeza athile: Amanye amayeza anokonakalisa i-enamel njengesiphumo esingesihle. Ukuba usela naliphi na iyeza ixesha elide, thetha nogqirha wakho ngalo mba.
• Umlomo owomileyo (`Xerostomia`): Xa ukuveliswa kwamathe emlonyeni kuncipha, i-enamel ayikhuselekanga kangako. Amathe ayayiphelisa i-asidi emlonyeni aze asuse amasuntswana okutya.
• I-GERD (isifo se-gastroesophageal reflux) okanye iingxaki ezifanayo zesisu: I-asidi enzima esiswini inokonakalisa i-enamel yamazinyo ngokunyuka iye emphinjeni nasemlonyeni.
• I-Bulimia nervosa: Esi sisifo sengqondo esinxulumene nokutya. Kule meko, ukuhlanza okubangelwa nguwe kubangela ukuba i-enamel iphele ngokukhawuleza njengoko ii-asidi zesisu zibetha amazinyo.
• I-genetics: Abanye abantu bazalwa bene-enamel encinci, nto leyo enokubangela ukuba i-enamel yabo iguge ngokukhawuleza kunabanye.

Kuthekani ukuba i-enamel iyaphela ngokupheleleyo?

Khawucinge ukuba kuya kwenzeka ntoni xa umaleko okhuselayo wezinyo ulahlekile? Xa i-enamel iphela, umaleko we-dentin obuthathaka ngaphakathi kwezinyo uyavela. Emva koko, udibana ngqo nezinto esizityayo nesiziselayo. Oku kwandisa kakhulu umngcipheko wemingxuma. Ukongeza:

• Ubuthathaka bamazinyo buyakhula: Nokuba usela amanzi abandayo, ukutya iqhekeza le-ayisikhrim, okanye ukusela ikomityi eshushu yeti kunokubangela ukuba amazinyo akho abe ndindisholo ngendlela enganyamezelekiyo.
• Umbala wamazinyo unokutshintsha: Njengoko i-enamel iphela, umbala otyheli we-dentin engaphantsi uyabonakala.
• Kukwakho nethuba eliphezulu lokuba amabala avele emazinyweni.
• Imiphetho yamazinyo inokuba rhabaxa kwaye yaphuke.

Oogqirha bamazinyo banokulungisa imingxunya emincinci. Kodwa ukuba ayinyangwa, nemingxunya emincinci inokukhula ibe mikhulu ize ibe zizifo ezinzulu kunye namathumba abuhlungu amazinyo. Yiyo loo nto kubalulekile ukubona ugqirha kwangoko xa ubona utshintsho oluncinci emazinyweni akho, ukungaziva, okanye ukutshintsha kombala.
