Malunga neepesenti ezili-15 zabemi zinamazinyo abuthathaka. Aba bantu bahlala befumana iintlungu ekungeniseni ukutya okushushu, okubandayo, okuswiti, okanye okune-asidi kunye nokusela, nangona banokufumana ukungonwabi kwinto elula njengokuxubha.
Ngethamsanqa, kukho amanyathelo anokuthathwa ngumntu wonke ukunciphisa kunye nokukhusela ubuntununtunu bamazinyo. Apha sichaza ezintathu amacebo asebenzayo ukugcina amazinyo abuthathaka ephantsi kolawulo Ngaphandle kokuphepha ukutya kunye neziselo ezibangela iintlungu:
Hlamba amazinyo akho kakuhle. Ukuthatha iipasile ezinamandla akwenzi ukuba amazinyo akho acoceke, kodwa kuya kwandisa umngcipheko wokuziva uziva kwamazinyo. Kwaye kukuba ukuxubha kakhulu kunokubangela ukuba iintsini zisuke emazinyweni, ziveze imithambo-luvo. Sebenzisa ibrashi ethambileyo kunye nokwenza imivimbo emifutshane, egudileyo ukusuka phezulu kuye ezantsi. Uya kuwagcina amazinyo akho esempilweni kwaye acocekile, ukuba nje uyakwenza kabini ngemini imizuzu emibini.
Nxiba umlindi womlomo ukuze ulale. Ukuba usila amazinyo-imeko ebizwa ngokuba yi-bruxism-i-enamel yakho inokuwohloka, ivule umjelo phakathi kwangaphandle kwezinyo kunye neentsholongwane ezisisiseko. Nxibelelana nogqirha wakho wamazinyo malunga nokwenza unogada emlonyeni, nangona unokucinga ngokungenisa imisebenzi yokuphumla enjengokucamngca kwindlela yakho yemihla ngemihla kuqala, njengokutshixizisa kwamazinyo kuhlala kungumqondiso woxinzelelo.
Unyango olumhlophe, ekhaya nakwingcali, olwenziwe kwiofisi kagqirha wamazinyo, lunokubangela ubuntununtunu bethutyana, ke ukuba ufuna ukuqaqambisa uncumo lwakho, yazisa ugqirha wamazinyo kwangaphambili. Kuxhomekeke kwinqanaba lengxaki yakho, mhlophe isenokungacetyiswa kwityala lakho.
