Isifo sezinsini esixhumene nezinkinga ze-Covid-19 ocwaningweni olusha
Ucwaningo olusha luthole ukuthi abantu abanesifo sezinsini esithuthukisiwe basengozini enkulu yokuhlaselwa yi-coronavirus, okubandakanya ukuthi bafune umshini wokuphefumula futhi babulawe yilesi sifo. Ucwaningo, oluhlole iziguli ezingaphezu kuka-500, luthole ukuthi isifo sezinsini besisethubeni eliphindwe kayisishiyagalolunye lokufa ngenxa ye-Covid-19.Iphinde yathola ukuthi iziguli ezinesifo somlomo zinamathuba acishe abe kahlanu okudinga ukungenelwa komoya okusizwayo.
ICoronavirus manje isithelele abantu abayizigidi eziyi-115 emhlabeni wonke kanti ababalelwa ezigidini ezi-4.1 abavela e-UK.E-UK, abantu abadala abalinganiselwa ku-90% banohlobo oluthile lwesifo sezinsini.Ngokwe-Oral Health Foundation, isifo sezinsini singavinjelwa kalula noma silawulwe ezigabeni zaso zokuqala.
UDkt. Nigel Carter OBE, Isikhulu Esiphezulu senhlangano esiza abantulayo ukholelwa ukuthi ukuhlala wazi ngempilo yakho yomlomo kungabamba iqhaza elikhulu ekulweni naleli gciwane.
UDkt. Carter uthi: “Lokhu ukucwaninga kwakamuva kweziningi ezakha ukuxhumana phakathi komlomo nezinye izimo zempilo.Ubufakazi lapha bubukeka bukhulu kakhulu - ngokugcina impilo enhle yomlomo, ikakhulukazi izinsini ezinempilo - uyakwazi ukunciphisa amathuba akho okuba nezinkinga ezimbi kakhulu ze-coronavirus.
“Uma singalashwa, isifo sezinsini singadala amathumba, futhi phakathi neminyaka eminingana, ithambo elisekela amazinyo lingalahleka,” kunezela uDkt. Carter.“Lapho isifo sezinsini sithuthuka, ukwelashwa kuba nzima kakhulu.Ngokunikezwa kwesixhumanisi esisha ngezinkinga ze-coronavirus, isidingo sokungenelela kusenesikhathi siba sikhulu kakhulu.
Uphawu lokuqala lwesifo sezinsini yigazi esixukwini sakho noma emuthini wokuxubha owukhafulela ngemva kokuxubha.Izinsini zakho zingase futhi zophe lapho udla, okushiya ukunambitheka okubi emlonyeni wakho.Ukuphefumula kwakho kungase kungabi mnandi.
I-Oral Health Foundation izimisele ngokugqamisa ukubaluleka kokuthatha izinyathelo kusenesikhathi ngokumelene nezimpawu zesifo sezinsini, kulandela ucwaningo oluveza ukuthi abantu abaningi kakhulu baziba.
Izibalo zakamuva eziqoqwe inhlangano esiza umphakathi zikhombisa ukuthi uBrits oyedwa kwabahlanu (19%) bayayeka ngokushesha ukuxubha indawo yokopha futhi cishe oyedwa kwabayishumi (8%) uyeka ukuxubha ngokuphelele. “Uma amazinyo eqala ukopha, qhubeka nokuhlanza amazinyo bese uxubha ku-gumline.Ukukhipha i- plaque ne-tartar emazinyweni akho kubalulekile ekulawuleni nasekuvimbeleni izifo zezinsini.
“Indlela ephumelela kunazo zonke yokuvimbela isifo sezinsini iwukuxubha amazinyo ngomuthi wokuxubha one-fluoride imizuzu emibili kabili ngosuku nokuhlanza phakathi kwamazinyo ngamabhulashi aphakathi kwamazinyo noma ngefloss nsuku zonke.Ungathola nokuthi ukuthola i-mouthwash ekhethekile kuzosiza.
“Okunye okumele ukwenze ukuthi uxhumane nethimba lakho lamazinyo ucele ukuthi uhlolwe kahle amazinyo nezinsini usebenzisa amazinyo aqeqeshiwe.Bazokala 'i-cuff' yezinsini ezungeze izinyo ngalinye ukuze babone ukuthi akukho yini uphawu lokuthi isifo se-periodontal sesiqalile."
