Ngelo xesha akuqhelekanga ukuba umntwana alumke yonke into ayifumanayo, ngokuphindaphindiweyo "uya kuba" kubazali, kuba umntwana uyababethela ngeminwe, ngelixa ephoqa ngamandla eminqeni kwaye ngokukhawuleza agxotha umnwe phakathi kwezinsini. Ngokuqinisekileyo, inkqubo enjalo ayiyinto enhle kwaye ayinalo ucoceko, ngoko oku kunye "nokukhusela" kweminwe yakho, isandi esingentla singasoloko sisondele.
Nangona kunjalo, akuqhelekanga kwinkqubo ebuhlungu ebantwini, ngelixa umntwana ephakamisa ubushushu bakhe, impumlo yomsindo ibonakala, i-disneyinal disorder igxila, umntwana angase aphethwe yintlungu, kwaye ukukhuseleka kungabuthathaka. Ukunciphisa ukubandezeleka komntwana kunokuba ngumgubo ococekileyo we-anesthetic, owathi, kwisinconywa sogqirha, usetyenziswe kwi-desiccation evuyiweyo.
Amazinyo aphezulu angaphambili, kwinani leenqanawa ezine, aqhutywe ngenyanga yesibhozo yobomi bomntwana. Ukuba ibhinqa liyamncelisa ngethuba lexeshana, kuyimfuneko ukusebenzisa i-silicone pads (i-buses) kwiingxobo, ngokuqinisekileyo umntwana akayi kuyithanda kakhulu, kodwa apha kuyimfuneko ukukhetha, ukuthobela umnqweno womntwana kwaye uyalunywa, okanye uchaze kumntwana ukuba le nto iyimfuneko yesikhashana kwaye igxininise eyedwa.
Kwixesha elizayo, umntwana uyancipha kancane kancane i-incisors ephezulu, ukwenzela ukuba ngeminyaka umntwana sele sele enezinyosi ezilishumi ezisiba. Ukunyamekela amazinyo ebuntwaneni kubaluleke kakhulu, kufuneka uthenge i-toothbrush ethambileyo kunye nexesha elivela kunyaka omnye ukuya kubini ukuhlambulula amazinyo nge-brush emanzi ngaphandle kokusebenzisa i-toothpaste, kwaye ngekamva ungathenga i-toothpaste yabantwana ngaphandle kwe-fluoride. Ukuze ukhusele ukutya kwe-teeth toothpaste ngumntwana, ngenxa yokuba ivumba kakhulu, abantwana kufuneka baxubushe amazinyo kuphela ngolawulo olubi lwabazali babo.
Ekubeni, ukuqala ngeminyaka emihlanu nesiqingatha, umntwana uqala ukuhlahlela amazinyo akhe omntwana. Amazinyo amabini aphantsi awela kuqala, oko, njengoko kwakushiwo ngaphambili, zaqala ukuqala. Abazali ngexesha lokutshitshiswa kwe-zubik, ku funeka kuqatshelwe ukuba inyo elitsha sele liqhelile kwicala lelizinyo, - ingcambu enye. Ukuba inyosi ingaphumi ixesha elide, kuya kuba nomngcipheko wokukhawulwa kwezinyo, kwaye ngenxa yoko kuya kuba ne-bite engalunganga. Kwiimeko ezinjalo, abantwana bacebisa ukuba baqhagamshelane nodokotela wamazinyo abangenabuhlungu kwaye basuse ngokukhawuleza inyosi yobisi, kodwa ukuba umntwana uyesaba idokotela wamazinyo (ubunokwenzeka bepesenti ezingama-90 ukuba umntwana usesinezinyathelo), kubalulekile ukuba uthathe amanyathelo okuzenzela ngokuzenzekelayo izinyo. Ngokwemvelo, ukususwa kwezinyo ekhaya kuya kuba mnandi kakhulu, kwaye umntwana unokunyamekela, oko kuthetha ukuba abazali kufuneka bathethe inyaniso kumntwana malunga nenyoka yezinyo ezitshintsha izipho zawo kumazinyo obisi. Uza kubona, eli bali liza kumnceda umntwana, kwaye inyoyi iya kuqothulwa nguye ngokwakhe kwixa elizayo.
Utshintsho olupheleleyo lwesigxobo somlomo esisuka kumazinyo obisi lubonakala malunga neminyaka eyi-11 ukuya kwe-12, kwaye amazinyo okuhlakanipha angabonakala kamva. Ukubonakala kwangoko kwinto yokuhlakanipha kubhalwe kubantu abadala abaneminyaka engamashumi amabini anesihlanu.
