Mae y Bwrdd Iechyd Lleol wedi rhoi rhestr aros i ni o gleifion y byddwn yn cysylltu â nhw dros y misoedd nesaf. Bydd y rhain yn cynnwys:

1. Cyn gleifion Stryd Margaret a atebodd lythyr y Bwrdd Iechyd yn gofyn a fyddent am gael eu gweld yn y Practis newydd, 
2. Cleifion a gysylltodd â'r Bwrdd Iechyd i ddweud eu bod yn chwilio am ddeintydd GIG.

Ar gyfer cleifion presennol ffoniwch 01269 506074 neu galwch i mewn yn y practis, a byddwn yn trefnu apwyntiad sy'n gyfleus i chi. Byddwn yn anfon nodyn atgoffa atoch trwy neges destun neu e-bost cyn eich apwyntiad. Os oes angen i chi ganslo neu newid apwyntiad, rhowch gymaint o rybudd â phosibl i ni, o leiaf 24 awr.

Mae plac deintyddol yn sylwedd meddal, gludiog sy’n cronni ar eich dannedd. Mae’r rhan fwyaf ohono wedi cael ei wneud o facteria, sydd yn bwydo ar siwgr o fwyd a diod, gan gynhyrchu asid fel cynnyrch gwastraff. Mae’r asidau’n ymosod ar y dannedd wrth doddi’r mwynau* ar arwyneb y dant. Pe bai hynny’n digwydd yn rhy aml, byddai’r dannedd yn pydru. Oherwydd hynny, ni ddylech gymryd bwyd na diod sy’n llawn siwgr yn rhy aml yn ystod y dydd. Mae mwynau mewn poer yn gallu trwsio’r dannedd. Os oes fflworid yn bresennol yn y geg, mae’n helpu’r dannedd i’w hatgyweirio’u hunain. Mae fflworid hefyd yn achosi i facteria gynhyrchu llai o asid. I gael gwared â phlac ac i helpu’r dannedd i’w hatgyweirio’u hunain, mae’n rhaid brwsio ddwywaith y diwrnod gyda phast dannedd fflworid.

Rydych chi eisoes yn gwybod yr ateb i'r un hwn! Dim ond fflosiwch y dannedd rydych chi am eu cadw! Does dim ots pa mor dda rydych chi'n brwsio'ch dannedd, ni fyddwch chi'n cael gwared ar y plac (bacteria a bwyd) rhwng eich dannedd heb ddefnyddio rhywbeth sydd wedi'i gynllunio i lanhau yn y canol. Os na fyddwch chi'n glanhau yn y canol fe gewch chi glefyd gwm yma. Bydd eich deintgig yn gwaedu, gall eich anadl arogli, yn y pen draw byddwch yn dechrau colli'r asgwrn sy'n cynnal y dannedd. Ni fydd yn digwydd dros nos ac mae rhai pobl yn llawer mwy agored i'r broblem nag eraill, ond os gallwch chi fynd i mewn i arferion ac arferion da a defnyddio rhywfaint o dâp fflos neu frwshys rhyngdental bob dydd… yna rydych ar eich ffordd i gadw eich dannedd a deintgig yn iach am oes.

Many people feel a bit nervous at the thought of seeing the dentist, particularly a new dentist. Sometimes this fear or phobia is so severe it will stop people coming to see us unless they are in really severe pain. It could be you’ve had bad experiences as a child and the smells and sounds in the surgery bring those memories back, or your fear is very specific and you are really scared of injections or the slow drill. Whatever your problem is we can help!
The first thing to do is make an appointment and tell us you are nervous. You will find us sympathetic and friendly. We are nice and we don’t tell people off! We will listen to you and will do everything we can to help. We use anaesthetic cream to numb your gum before we give injections, we put you in charge so if you ever want us to stop you just wave at us and we stop. We go at your pace and we do treatment in short bursts. You mustn’t feel worried about telling us to stop if you’ve had enough.
If you haven’t been to the dentist in a long time you may be really worried about how much treatment you need. Most of the time it is nowhere near as bad as you imagine. The biggest thing is picking up the phone and making the appointment!

Bad breath is most commonly caused by the smelly gases produced by the bacteria coating your teeth and gums. Food debris trapped in between the teeth can also start to decompose and cause a very unpleasant odour. So, effective and regular tooth brushing and cleaning in between your teeth with dental tape or interdental brushes and cleaning your tongue is crucial to keep your breath fresh.
Strong foods like garlic coffee and onions and smoking of course adds to the problem, as can having a dry mouth caused by certain medical conditions and some prescribed drugs and mouth breathing. Artificial saliva products may help.
Infections in the throat nose lungs or sinuses and diabetes liver or kidney problems may also cause bad breath. If we can’t find a dental cause for your problem we may refer you to your doctor.

Bydd y nicotin a’r tar mewn mwg yn staenio’ch dannedd, bydd yn achosi ac yn cyflymu clefyd y deintgig a all arwain at golli dannedd, efallai y byddwch yn cael anadl ddrwg ac mae hefyd yn cynyddu eich risg o ddatblygu canser y geg a’r gwddf (ac yn amlwg yr ysgyfaint). Mae ysmygu yn lleihau'r cyflenwad gwaed ac ocsigen i'r deintgig. Yn aml iawn bydd hyn yn golygu, os ydych chi'n ysmygu, na fydd eich deintgig yn gwaedu (arwydd rhybudd cyntaf o glefyd y deintgig), er eu bod yn afiach iawn. Os ydych yn ystyried rhoi’r gorau iddi ewch i http://smokefree.nhs.uk/ lle dylech ddod o hyd i lawer o wybodaeth, cymorth a chyngor i’ch helpu. Bydd golchi ceg yn helpu i guddio anadl ddrwg a gall gael rhywfaint o effaith ar gynnydd clefyd y deintgig. Mae angen i chi ymweld â ni'n rheolaidd fel y gallwn wirio'ch ceg am yr arwyddion cynharaf o ganser y geg.

Mae canser y geg yn dyfiant abnormal peryglus sy’n gallu effeithio ar unrhyw ran o’r geg. Beth ydi’r arwyddion o ganser y geg? Gall canser y geg ymddangos fel: • wlser, sy’n aml yn ddi-boen, nad yw’n clirio ar ôl tua phythefnos. • tyfiant neu chwydd sydd wedi bod yn bresennol am fwy nag oddeutu pythefnos. • weithiau, fel llecyn gwyn neu goch yn y geg. Nid canser fydd y rhan fwyaf o bethau fel hyn, ond os gwelwch chi’r arwyddion hyn, dylech gael eu harchwilio trwy fynd at eich deintydd yn syth.

Find the tooth…if it is clean push it gently back into the socket yourself .. Make sure it is the facing the right way! Come and see us ASAP.
If it isn’t clean or you are not confident about pushing it back yourself. Put the tooth in either a container of milk or your mouth. Do not swallow it.
Dewch o hyd i'r dant...os yw'n lân gwthiwch ef yn ôl i'r soced eich hun.. Gwnewch yn siŵr ei fod yn wynebu'r ffordd iawn! Dewch i'n gweld cyn gynted â phosibl. Os nad yw'n lân neu os nad ydych yn hyderus am ei wthio'n ôl eich hun. Rhowch y dant naill ai mewn cynhwysydd o laeth neu yn eich ceg. Peidiwch â'i lyncu. Dewch i'n gweld cyn gynted ag y gallwch, yn ddelfrydol o fewn 60 munud. Os na allwch chi gyrraedd ni, ewch i ddeintydd neu ysbyty arall. Cymerwch gyffuriau lleddfu poen os oes angen. Osgowch aspirin gan y gallai annog mwy o waedu. Peidiwch â thrin y dant wrth y gwraidd. Mae ganddo gewynnau bregus y mae angen eu cadw'n gyfan os yw am gael ei ddisodli'n llwyddiannus. Peidiwch â cheisio ei lanhau â diheintydd neu ddŵr. Peidiwch â gadael iddo sychu. Rhowch ef mewn cynhwysydd o laeth. Peidiwch â phanicio! Mae dannedd yn gallu ac yn cael eu rhoi yn ôl yn llwyddiannus! Efallai y bydd angen i ni sblintio'r dant yn ei le a bron yn sicr bydd angen rhagor o waith arnoch yn nes ymlaen. Mae dannedd babanod yn cael eu bwrw allan ac nid ydym fel arfer yn ceisio eu hail-blannu ac os nad yw dant oedolyn wedi cael ei fwrw allan mewn un darn efallai na fydd yn bosibl ei ail-blannu, byddwn bob amser yn gwneud popeth o fewn ein gallu i helpu. . https://www.dentaltrauma.co.uk/Public.aspx https://www.dentaltrauma.co.uk/Index.aspx
Take painkillers if you need to. Avoid aspirin as it may encourage further bleeding.
Don’t handle the tooth by the root. It has fragile ligaments which need to be kept intact if it is to be successfully replaced.
Don’t try to clean it with disinfectant or water. Don’t let it dry out. Just put it in a container of milk.
Don’t panic! Teeth can and are successfully put back in! We may need to splint the tooth in position and you will almost certainly need further work on it later on.
Baby teeth get knocked out and we don’t usually try to re-implant them and if an adult tooth has not been knocked out in one piece it may not be possible to re-implant it, we will always do everything we can to help.

Many people think that diet coke is better than ‘full fat’ coke because it has no sugar in it and therefore doesn’t cause tooth decay. However, all cokes and fizzy drinks contain phosphoric acid which mean you are essentially bathing your teeth in a weak acid and this destroys enamel (dental erosion). This causes disfiguring tooth loss, pain and sensitivity. The odd can isn’t a problem but we know lots of people drink up to a litre a day! Not only does the phosphoric acid damage your teeth it also damages your bones, so water and milk and are the best things to drink.
Duraphat toothpaste (very high in fluoride) and changing your diet as well as help and advice from your dentist and hygienist can prevent further damage.

The amount of radiation received from a dental X-ray is extremely small. We have recently invested in new digital radiography technology which reduces the radiation exposure still further. Radiation is present all around us all the time. You get about the same amount of radiation from having two dental X-rays as you do travelling on a flight to Spain. We take your safety and ours very seriously.
We take x rays to give us much more information about your teeth and mouth than we can see just by a visual inspection. It can show us decay in between the teeth or under old fillings which if treated early, is much easier and less expensive than waiting until the problem becomes obvious . They can show us how adult teeth are developing and the position of your wisdom teeth and allow us to check whether you have gum disease related bone loss.

Sensitive teeth are usually triggered with cold food (icecream) or drinks, or touch (toothbrush or fingernail) or sweet foods (chocolate). The pain is severe but only lasts for a few seconds. If you get pain that lasts longer than this and is triggered with hot things more than cold you have toothache not sensitivity!

Sensitivity can be caused by exposing the more sensitive dentine on your teeth either by brushing too hard or drinking /eating too many acidic foods, fizzy drinks, white wine, fruit juice. The solution is to limit the exposure of your teeth to acid attack, cleaning with an electric tooth brush and using toothpaste for sensitive teeth. Use the toothpaste as an ointment…rub it into the sensitive areas and leave it there.
