He mea koʻikoʻi nō hoʻi ka mālama niho no kā mākou mau hoa wāwae ʻehā. I ka wā ma mua, ʻaʻohe pilikia o ko lākou niho i nā kūpuna o nā ʻīlio o kēia wā.
ʻO ka mea nui kēia ma muli o ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia ʻana o nā niho o nā holoholona mai ka mea pio i ka wā e haehae ai a ʻai ai. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole kākoʻo iki ka ʻai ʻīlio e hāʻawi ʻia nei i nā holoholona i kēia hoʻomaʻemaʻe. ʻOi aku ka nui o kēia i kou komo ʻana ma ke ʻano he kahu ʻīlio i ka mālama niho o kāu holoholona. ʻAʻole wale kēia e kipa aku i ka vet akā ʻoi aku ka nui. Ma kēia ʻatikala, e ʻike pono ʻoe i ka hana ʻana o ka mālama niho no nā ʻīlio.
Ka holoi ʻana i nā niho o kāu ʻīlio?
I kēlā me kēia hihia, e kāhāhā paha ʻoe i ka wā mua, no ka mea, ʻo ka palaki ʻana i nā niho o kāu ʻīlio he kumuhana ia e māhele ʻia ai nā manaʻo. Aia i kēia manawa nā pulupulu niho kūikawā a me ka toothpaste i hana kūikawā ʻia no kēia kumu. Ma ka holoi ʻana i kou mau niho, hiki iā ʻoe ke wehe pono i ka plaque, i ʻole hiki mai nā maʻi niho ma kahi mua. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻōlelo kekahi mau kauka lapaʻau i ka palaki ʻana i nā niho o kāu ʻīlio i kēlā me kēia lā.
E hoʻomaʻamaʻa i kāu ʻīlio i ka holoi ʻana i nā niho
He mea nui e hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻoe i kāu ʻīlio i ka holoi ʻana i kona mau niho mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻomaka ʻana ma ke ʻano he ʻīlio. I kēia makahiki, hiki ke hoʻohana i nā ʻīlio i ka mālama niho ma ke ʻano pāʻani, i lilo kēia i mea maʻamau i ka wā makua a no laila he ʻāpana o ke ola o kēlā me kēia lā. Eia naʻe, inā makemake ʻoe e hoʻomaka me ka mālama niho o kahi ʻīlio kahiko, pono ʻoe e lawe i ka manawa nui e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ka holoholona. E hoʻomanawanui a hoʻomaikaʻi i kāu holoholona i hiki ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa maikaʻi ʻia ka holoi ʻana i nā niho.
No ka laʻana, pono ʻoe e paipai me ka pāʻani i ka ʻīlio e wehe hou i kona waha. ʻOiaʻiʻo, pono e uku maikaʻi ʻia ʻo ia no ka hana ʻana pēlā. ʻO ka wehe ʻole ʻana o ka waha o ka ʻīlio he mea kōkua nui nō hoʻi ma hope o ke kauka lapaʻau e nānā i nā niho. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻoiai inā ua hōʻeha ʻo ia iā ia iho, hiki ke hana ʻia me kahi ʻāpana lāʻau. Ke wehe ka ʻīlio i kona waha me ka pilikia ʻole, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaka i ka lomilomi ʻana i nā ʻāʻī me kou manamana lima. ʻAʻole ʻōlelo ʻia ka pulupulu i ka hoʻomaka. Inā ʻae ka ʻīlio i ka lomilomi, pono ʻoe e hoʻāʻo i ka pulupulu niho ʻīlio. Eia naʻe, e hoʻolauna i kāu ʻīlio i ka pulumu niho me ka ʻoluʻolu a me ka mahalo nui a me ke ahonui e kōkua i ka hoʻomaha ʻana i kona hopohopo.
I ka wā e hiki mai ana, pono ʻoe e palaki i nā niho o kāu ʻīlio i kēlā me kēia lā. E hōʻoia ʻaʻole ʻoe e hōʻeha i kāu ʻīlio a hoʻomau i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana iā lākou. Me ka mālama niho e like me kēia, hiki iā ʻoe ke kākoʻo ikaika i ke olakino niho olakino i kāu ʻīlio.
Aia kekahi mau mea ʻē aʻe i ka palaki ʻana i kou mau niho?
ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole ʻae nā ʻīlio he nui i kā lākou mea nona e palaki i ko lākou niho. He mea maʻamau kēia, no ka mea, ʻaʻole ʻike ka hapa nui o nā holoholona i kēia kaʻina hana. Inā ʻoe i lawe mai i kahi ʻīlio makua i loko o ka hale, ʻaʻole maʻalahi ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i ka pulupulu ʻana i kona mau niho, no ka laʻana. ʻAʻole manaʻoʻiʻo nā mea ʻīlio ʻē aʻe i kēia ʻano o ka mālama niho a ke ʻimi nei lākou i kahi koho.
Eia kekahi laʻana, aia kahi gel kūikawā no ka mālama niho i nā'īlio. Pono e hoʻopili ʻia kēia i nā niho, me ka ʻole o ka pulupulu ʻana. Hoʻomaʻemaʻe kēia gel i nā niho o nā ʻīlio ma ke kumu i kapa ʻia ʻo enzymatic a wehe i ka plaque. Kōkua ka gel i ka pale ʻana i ka hoʻokumu ʻana o ka plaque a me ka tartar. Hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka ʻeha a me ka hanu ʻino. Me kēlā gel, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka noi ma mua o ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe iā ia iho.
Aia kekahi mau holoi waha kūikawā no nā ʻīlio. He hopena disinfecting kēia a hiki ke maʻalahi a maʻalahi hoʻi i ka wai inu o nā ʻīlio. Me kēia mau holoi hiki ke wehe i ka plaque mai ka ili niho. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo ia ʻano hopena ka mea nui e hoʻomaʻemaʻe hou ai kāu ʻīlio i kona lua waha a puni ka lā.
Inā ʻaʻole kūpono nā ʻano ʻelua iā ʻoe a me kāu holoholona, pono ʻoe e hoʻohana i ke ʻano kūlohelohe o kāu ʻīlio no ka mālama lāʻau no ka mālama niho. Aia nā ʻano mea nau ʻē aʻe i mālama i nā niho o nā holoholona iā lākou iho i ka nau ʻana. Me kēia mau huahana hiki ke hoʻomaʻemaʻe mechanical i nā niho a me nā ʻāʻī. Eia kekahi, hoʻoulu ʻia ka hana ʻana o ka saliva, kahi e pale ai i ka ʻāʻī a me nā niho. Aia kekahi ʻai ʻīlio a me nā meaʻai meaʻai like ʻole e hoʻomaikaʻi i nā enzymes pākahi, hoʻololi i ka waiwai pH o ka saliva a pēlā e hōʻemi ai i ka plaque.
Aia nō ka hiki ke kākoʻo i ke olakino niho o kāu mau ʻīlio me nā mea pāʻani nahu kūikawā. Hana ʻia kēia mea pāʻani e kākoʻo i ke olakino niho a ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā ʻīlio i hoʻopilikia ʻia i nā pilikia niho ma mua o nā holoholona ʻē aʻe. Eia naʻe, he mea nui e koho pono i kēia. No ka laʻana, pono e hoʻololi ʻia ka pāʻani nau no ka mālama niho i ka nui a me ka makahiki o ka ʻīlio. Eia kekahi, he mea nui e hoʻolohe i ka maikaʻi maikaʻi.
I ka manawa hea ʻoe e lawe ai i kāu ʻīlio i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa no ka nānā niho?
E like me mākou, nā kānaka, he mea nui i nā ʻīlio ke nānā mau i ko lākou mau niho. Ke kūkulu ʻia ka tartar a i ʻole ka pala niho, laha ka pilikia. ʻOiai inā ʻaʻole ʻeha ka ʻīlio a ʻano maʻamau nā niho, he mea nui e nānā iā lākou i nā manawa maʻamau.
I ka wā e ʻeha ai kāu mea aloha, ʻaʻole ʻai pono ʻoe a i ʻole ka nui o nā niho i hiki ʻole ke wehe hou ʻia, pono ʻoe e hele koke i kāu kauka holoholona. Hoʻohana pū kēia inā ua loli ka ʻāʻī o kāu ʻīlio a, no ka laʻana, pehu a ʻulaʻula loa. Akā inā ua nalowale nā ʻāʻī i ko lākou kala ʻulaʻula maikaʻi a keʻokeʻo ke nānā aku, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka nānā ʻana i ke kauka.
ʻO ka loli o nā niho i nā ʻīlio
ʻO nā ʻīlio, e like me ke kanaka, hānau ʻia me ka niho ʻole. Hiki mai nā niho mua ma waena o ka pule 3 a me 6 o ke ola. ʻO ka niho mua, ka mea i kapa ʻia he niho waiū, he 28 mau niho. Hoʻomaka ka hoʻololi ʻana o nā niho ma waena o ka mahina 4 a me 7 o ke ola a ʻike pinepine ʻole ʻia e ka mea nona. He 42 mau niho o keia mau niho. Aia kekahi mau ʻīlio i nā pilikia ma ke ʻano o ka ʻeha i ka wā e hoʻololi ai i nā niho a no laila ka pono e nau i nā mea, ʻoi loa i kēia manawa. No laila, ma ke ʻano he mea nona, pono ʻoe e hāʻawi i nā mea pāʻani maʻamau i mea e maʻalahi ai kāu ʻīlio e hoʻololi i nā niho.
Eia kekahi, hiki ke puka mai ka niho mau ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka niho waiū. No ka mea, ʻaʻole i luku ʻia kona aʻa niho, ʻaʻole ia e hāʻule i waho, ʻo ia ka hopena o ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā niho pālua. Ma muli o kēia kūlana kūpono ʻole, ʻaʻole hiki i nā niho ʻē aʻe ke ulu ma kahi kūpono a lilo i kekee. Hiki pinepine kēia pilikia, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā ʻīlio liʻiliʻi. ʻOiai i kēia manawa, he mea nui e ʻike ʻoe i ke kauka holoholona. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ma ia ʻano, ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻae ʻia ka unuhi ʻana o nā niho waiū, no ka mea, i ka wā e hū ai ka niho hou a me ka hoʻoikaika kino, pono e hāʻule ka niho waiū i mea e hāʻawi ai i kahi kūpono.
ʻO kēia ka mea hiki iā ʻoe ke maʻalahi i kāu ʻīlio e hoʻololi i nā niho:
- Mai pāʻani pāʻani huki me kāu ʻīlio i ka wā e loli ai nā niho.
- ʻAʻole kōkua wale nā pēpē Osanit i nā pēpē, akā i nā ʻīlio pū kekahi. Hāʻawi i kāu ʻīlio 4-5 pellets ʻelua i ka lā. Loaʻa kēia mau mea i nā lāʻau lapaʻau me ka ʻole o ke kau ʻana.
- He hopena anti-inflammatory nā lālā willow hou a hoʻomaha i ka ʻeha. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hele i kēia mau lālā e nau.
- E hāʻawi i nā nahu (pepeiao pipi, tripe, kong).
- Makemake kekahi mau ʻīlio i kou lomilomi ʻana i ko lākou ʻāʻī no ka mea, ʻeha pinepine lākou.
Panina
ʻAʻole pono e hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻia ka mālama niho i nā ʻīlio. ʻO ka palaki ʻana i kou mau niho i kēlā me kēia lā, hāʻawi iā lākou i ka meaʻai kūikawā, ka nau, ka gel, a i ʻole nā huahana ʻē aʻe, nui nā ala e kākoʻo ai i ke olakino niho o kāu ʻīlio i kēia mau lā. ʻOiai ka mālama ʻana, pono e nānā ʻia kou mau niho e ke kauka holoholona i nā manawa maʻamau. ʻO nā ʻīlio me nā niho maikaʻi ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hanu ʻino a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, no laila e uku maoli ka mālama niho.
