Te Tūranga o ngā Paturopi i roto i te Tiaki Niho
He wāhanga nui te hauora o te waha mō te hauora whānui. Ko te waha te tomokanga matua mō te kai me te inu, ā, he wāhi noho hoki mō ngā momo moroiti. He noa, he kore kino ētahi huakita i roto i te kōhao waha, engari ki te nui rawa, ki te kore taurite rānei, ka taea e rātou te whakaoho i ngā raruraru pēnei i te manawa kino, te mate kapia, te pirau niho (ngā kōhao), tae noa ki te mate. Koinei te wāhi e uru mai ai ngā paturopi: ka āwhina i te whakahaere i te maha o ngā moroiti me te whakaiti i te tūponotanga o te mumura me te mate, inā koa ka whakamahia tika hei tāpiri atu ki te akuaku niho o ia rā.
Te mārama ki ngā rongoā paturopi: he aha rātou me pēhea te mahi
Ko te paturopi he matū e pania ana ki ngā kiko ora (pērā i te kiri me te kiriuhi waha) hei aukati i te tipu o ngā moroiti, hei whakamate rānei i a rātou. I roto i te tiaki niho, ko ngā paturopi he mea horoi waha, he hinu, he rehu, he wai rānei e whakamahia ana e ngā tākuta niho i mua i ētahi tikanga. He rerekē te mahi a ngā paturopi i runga i te momo, engari ko te tikanga ko:
1. Ka pakaru ngā pakitara, ngā kiriuhi rānei o ngā pūtau huakita, ā, ka mate, ka kore rānei e taea e ngā huakita te whakaputa uri.
2. Ka whakararuraru i ngā whākōkī me te pākia o ngā moroiti, ka aukati i te mahi a ngā huakita e hua ai te paraka.
3. Ka whakaiti i te nui o ngā huakita i roto i te waha, kia māmā ake ai te whakahaere i te mumura.
Ahakoa ka taea e ngā paturopi te whakaiti i te maha o ngā huakita, he mea nui kia mārama ehara i te mea hei whakakapi mō te paraihe me te miro niho. He kiriata koiora te paraka e piri pūmau ana ki te mata o ngā niho. Ka tere ake te tango mā te mahi ā-ringa, pērā i te paraihe, te miro niho, te paraihe rānei i waenganui i ngā niho. He tāpiringa ngā paturopi—ina koa i ētahi wā kāore i te tino pai te horoi ā-ringa.
Te whakahaere i te paturopi me te papaki
Ka hangaia te paraka niho mai i ngā toenga kai, te huware, me ngā koroni huakita e piri ana ki te mata o te niho. Ki te kore e rongoatia, ka whakapakeke te paraka hei tartar (calculus) ka puta ai te mumura o ngā kapia. Ka taea e te horoi waha paturopi te āwhina ki te whakaiti i te hanganga o te paraka mā te pehi i te maha o ngā huakita me te aukati i te tipu o te biofilm.
Mō te hunga e ngāwari ana ki te hanga paraka niho—pērā i te hunga e mau ana i ngā whitiki niho, te hunga he iti te nekenekehanga, te hunga rānei e uaua ana ki te horoi i waenga i ō rātou niho—he pai te tāpiri i ngā paturopi. Heoi anō, kei te mau tonu ngā tikanga matua: te paraihe i ngā niho e rua i te rā me te whakamahi i te tikanga tika, me te miro niho i te iti rawa kotahi i te rā.
Ko te mahi a ngā rongoā paturopi i roto i te aukati me te maimoatanga o te gingivitis
Ko te Gingivitis he mumura o ngā kapia e tohuhia ana e te whero, te pupuhi, me te toto e puta wawe ana i te wa e parai ana. Ko te tikanga ka puta tēnei mate i te hanganga o te paraka i te raina kapia. He maha nga wa ka tūtohuhia nga paturopi, ina koa i roto i te ahua o te horoi waha, hei awhina i te whakahaere i te gingivitis na te mea ka taea e ratou te whakaiti i te maha o nga huakita e puta ai te mumura.
I ngā wāhanga tōmua o te mate kapia, mā te whakamahi i te horoi ā-ringa tino pai me te whakamahi i te rongoā paturopi poto ka tere ake te whakapai ake. Heoi, ki te mea kua horapa te mate kapia ki te mate kapia (he mate kapia hohonu ake e kino ai ngā kiko tautoko o ngā niho), kāore e ranea te rongoā paturopi anake. Me tirotiro ngā niho, me horoi te niho, me te rongoā periodontal, ki te hiahiatia.
Paturopi muri i te horoinga niho
I roto i te mahi niho, he maha ngā wā ka whakamahia ngā rongoā patu huakita i mua atu, i muri rānei i ētahi tikanga. Hei tauira:
– I mua i te tango niho, i ngā pokanga iti rānei, hei whakaiti i te nui o ngā huakita i roto i te waha, hei whakaiti hoki i te tūponotanga o te mate.
– I muri i te tango i te kiri mākūkū (te tango i te tartar), inā koa mēnā kua tino mumura ngā kapia, hei āwhina i te whakahaere i ngā huakita i te wā e ora ana.
– Mēnā he mate pukupuku whara, he patunga iti rānei, ka tūtohu pea te tākuta i ētahi rongoā paturopi hei pupuri i te wāhi kia ma, hei whakaiti hoki i te tūponotanga o te mate tuarua.
He mea nui kia whai i ngā tohutohu a tō tākuta niho mō te roa me te tikanga whakamahi. Mā te whakamahinga roa o ētahi rongoā paturopi ka pāngia pea e ngā pānga taha, ka whakararuraru rānei i te taurite o ngā huakita o te waha.
Ngā momo rongoā paturopi e whakamahia whānuitia ana i roto i te tiaki niho
He maha ngā rongoā paturopi e wātea ana i te mākete me ngā whare hauora. Ko ētahi o ēnei ko:
1. Chlorhexidine (CHX)
E kiia ana ko te hopi horoi waha paturopi paerewa koura mō te whakahaere i te paraka me te mate kapia i te wā poto e whakamahia ana, he whai hua, engari ka pā mai pea ngā pānga taha pērā i te parauri o ngā niho, ngā panoni o te reka, me te pikinga o te hanganga o te tartar i roto i ētahi tāngata mēnā ka roa te whakamahinga.
2. Povidone-iodine
He rongoā paturopi whānui e whakamahia ana i ētahi wā i roto i ētahi āhuatanga, i roto rānei i ngā tikanga haumanu. Kāore e pai mō te katoa, inā koa te hunga he mate pāwera ki te iodine, he mate tairoi rānei—me kōrero ki tētahi tohunga hauora mō te whakamahinga.
3. Cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC)
He mea noa tēnei e kitea ana i roto i ngā horoi waha o ia rā. He ngawari ake tōna pānga patu huakita i te chlorhexidine, engari ka taea e ia te āwhina ki te whakaiti i te manawa kino me te pehi i te tipu o ngā kitakita ina whakamahia i ia wā e ai ki ngā tohutohu.
4. Ngā hinu kakara
He mahi patu huakita kei roto i ētahi horoi waha he hinu kakara, ā, ka āwhina ki te whakahaere i te paraka. Heoi, kia tūpato ki te nui o te waipiro kei roto i ētahi hua, nā te mea ka maroke te waha o ētahi tāngata.
Me whakarite te momo paturopi kia rite ki ō hiahia: ahakoa mō te whakamahinga o ia rā, mō ngā mate motuhake, mō te rongoā poto rānei i muri i ngā mahi niho.
Paturopi, manawa kino, me ngā moroiti
He maha ngā wā ka honoa te manawa kino (halitosis) ki ngā huakita whakaputa whanariki i runga i te arero, i ngā kapia, i waenganui rānei i ngā niho. Ka taea e ngā paturopi te āwhina ki te whakaiti i ngā huakita e puta ai te manawa kino, inā koa ka honoa ki te horoi arero me te akuaku niho. Heoi anō, ka puta mai anō hoki te manawa kino i te waha maroke, i ngā raruraru puku, i ngā mate manawa, i te momi hikareti rānei. Nō reira, ehara i te mea ko ngā paturopi anake te otinga. Me arotake tonu te take matua mō te maimoatanga tika.
Me pēhea te whakamahi tika i ngā rongoā antiseptic
Kia whai hua ai, kia haumaru ai hoki ngā rongoā patu huakita, kia whai whakaaro ki ētahi mātāpono matua:
– Whakamahia kia rite ki ngā tohutohu kei runga i te tapanga, ki ngā tohutohu rānei a tō tākuta niho.
– Kia tūpato ki te wā whakamahinga. E taunakihia ana kia whakamahia ētahi rongoā paturopi i muri i te paraihe niho, engari e taunakihia ana kia whakamahia te chlorhexidine i muri i ētahi paraihe niho nā te mea ka whakaitihia tōna whai huatanga.
– Kaua e whakakōkī i tō waha mō te wā poto rawa. I te nuinga o te wā, e 30–60 hēkona te roa, i runga i te hua.
– Kaua e kai me te inu tonu i muri i te whakakōkī kia pai ai te mahi a ngā matū hohe.
– Whakawhāitihia te roa o te whakamahinga o ngā rongoā paturopi kaha. Mēnā he whakamahinga roa, kāore i te tirotirohia, ka pāngia pea ngā niho e ngā paru, ka raru pea te reka, ka kore rānei e taurite te noho o ngā huakita o te waha.
Ngā mōrearea me ngā herenga o ngā rongoā paturopi
Pērā i ngā matū hohe katoa, he iti noa iho ngā ārai mate pāwera. Mēnā ka whakamahia hē, ka pā mai ēnei āhuatanga:
– Ngā panonitanga o te tae o ngā niho, o te arero rānei (ina koa me te chlorhexidine).
– Te waha maroke, te riri rānei i ētahi tāngata.
– Te raruraru reka mō te wā poto.
– Te tūponotanga o te whakawhirinaki ki te horoi waha, ka kore ai e horoia ā-ringa.
– Ka kore taurite te noho o ngā moroiti ā-waha mēnā ka nui rawa te whakamahinga, ka pā mai pea ētahi atu raruraru.
Nō reira, me whakamahi ngā rongoā paturopi hei wāhanga o tētahi rautaki maimoatanga, kaua hei otinga takitahi.
Whakatau: he rongoā paturopi hei tāpiri atu ki te akuaku waha
He mea nui te mahi a ngā paturopi ki te tiaki niho, inā koa ki te whakahaere i te paraka, te āwhina ki te whakaiti i te mate kapia, te tautoko i te tiaki i muri i te pokanga niho, me te aro atu ki te manawa kino e pā ana ki te mahi a ngā huakita. Heoi, ka tino whai hua te whakamahinga ina whakamahia ngātahi me ngā tikanga matua: te paraihe tika, te miro niho, te whakaiti i te kai huka nui, me te tirotiro niho auau.
Mā te whiriwhiri i te momo paturopi tika, te whakamahi i runga i ngā tohutohu, me te whakamahi tika mō te roanga tika, ka taea te noho hei taputapu haumaru, whai hua hoki mō te pupuri i te hauora o ngā niho me te waha. Mena he mate motuhake tōu pēnei i te toto pinepine o ngā kapia, te manawa kino tonu, te mate pukupuku e hoki mai ana, kei te rongoatia rānei ki te taote niho, mā te kōrero ki te taote niho ka āwhina i a koe ki te whakatau i te paturopi e pai ana mōu.
