Ososayensi bathola ukuthi abantu abasebenzisa isixubho sikagesi banezinsini ezinempilo, amazinyo ayaboli futhi bagcina amazinyo abo isikhathi eside, uma kuqhathaniswa nalabo abasebenzisa isixubho sesandla.
Ngenxa ye-toothbrush kagesi ishayela ukuxubha ngokusebenzisa ukudlidliza, okukhiqiza ukujika phezulu naphansi, okungavala kahle ubuso bamazinyo, kususe amabala angaphezulu, kunciphise amabala abangelwa ukuphuza itiye nekhofi, futhi kubuyisele umbala wokuqala we amazinyo.
Ucwaningo olubalulekile luthathe iminyaka eyi-11 ukuphothulwa futhi luwucwaningo olude kunawo wonke lwalolu hlobo mayelana nokusebenza kahle kokuxubha kukagesi uma kuqhathaniswa nokubhulashwa ngesandla.
Isikhulu Esiphezulu se-Oral Health Foundation, uDkt Nigel Carter OBE, ukholelwa ukuthi lolu cwaningo lusekela lokho ocwaningweni oluncane oluke lwaphakamisa phambilini.
UDkt Carter uthi: “Sekuyiminyaka eminingi ochwepheshe bezempilo bekhuluma ngezinzuzo zezixubho zikagesi.Lobu bufakazi bakamuva bungobunye obuqine kakhulu futhi obucacile okwamanje - izixubho zikagesi zingcono empilweni yethu yomlomo.
“Njengoba isayensi yezinzuzo zezixubho zikagesi yanda, isinqumo sokutshala imali kuso siba lula kakhulu.”
Inhlolovo yakamuva ye-Oral Health Foundation ithole ukuthi ngaphansi koyedwa kwababili (49%) abantu abadala base-British abasebenzisa isixubho sikagesi.
Cishe kubasebenzisi ababili kwabathathu (63%) besixubho sikagesi, ukuhlanza okusebenzayo yisizathu sabo sokushintsha.Bangaphezu kwengxenye eyodwa kwezintathu (34%) abaye bancengwa ukuba bathenge esisodwa ngenxa yeseluleko sikadokotela wamazinyo kuyilapho cishe oyedwa kwabayisishiyagalolunye (13%) bathole isixubho sikagesi njengesipho.
Kulabo abasebenzisa ibhulashi lamazinyo lezandla, izindleko zokuhamba ngogesi zivame ukucisha.Nokho, uDkt Carter uthi izixubho zikagesi zifinyeleleka kakhulu kunangaphambili.
“Njengoba ubuchwepheshe buthuthuka, izindleko zokuba nesixubho sikagesi ziba zithengeka kakhulu,” kunezela uDkt Carter.“Uma kubhekwa izinzuzo zezixubho zikagesi, ukuba naso kuwukutshala imali okuhle kakhulu futhi kungazuzisa ngempela impilo yomlomo wakho.”
Okunye okutholakele ku-Journal of Clinical Periodontology, kutholwe ukuthi izixubho zikagesi ziholele ekuwohlokeni kwezinsini ngo-22% kanye nokubola kancane ngo-18% kwamazinyo esikhathini esiyiminyaka eyi-11.
UDkt Nigel Carter uthi: “Kubalulekile ukuthi kungakhathaliseki ukuthi usebenzisa isixubho sikagesi noma cha, kufanele ulandele isimiso esihle sempilo yomlomo.
“Lokho kusho ukuthi kungakhathaliseki ukuthi usebenzisa isixubho esiyimanuwali noma sikagesi kufanele uxube imizuzu emibili, kabili ngosuku, ngomuthi wokuxubha one-fluoride.Futhi, isimiso esihle sempilo yomlomo ngeke siphelele ngaphandle kokusebenzisa ibhulashi eliphakathi kwamazinyo noma ifloss kanye ngosuku.
Uma ulandela isimiso esihle sempilo yomlomo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi usebenzisa ibhulashi lamazinyo lezandla noma likagesi, uyoba nomlomo onempilo noma ngayiphi indlela.”
