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.

You already know the answer to this one! Only floss the teeth you want to keep! It doesn’t matter how well you brush your teeth you will not get rid of the plaque (bacteria and food) in between your teeth without using something designed to clean in between. If you don’t clean in between you will get gum disease here. Your gums will bleed, your breath may smell, you will eventually start to lose the bone that supports the teeth. It won’t happen overnight and some people are much more susceptible to the problem than others, but if you can get into good habits and routines and use some floss tape or interdental brushes every day… then you are well on your way to keeping your teeth and gums healthy for life.
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!
Achosir aroglau drwg ar y gwynt gan amlaf gan facteria yn y geg ac nid yw fel arfer yn arwydd o iechyd gwael yn gyffredinol.
Gall clefyd y gorchfan achosi aroglau drwg ar y gwynt. Ond gellwch ddal i fod ag aroglau drwg ar eich gwynt a chithau â hylendid geneuol da a dannedd a gorchfannau iach. Mae’r aroglau drwg, felly, yn dod, gan amlaf, o gefn y tafod. Mae’n cryfhau wrth i chi siarad, fel y mae’ch ceg yn mynd yn sychach.
Mae’r rhan fwyaf o oedolion ag aroglau drwg ar eu gwynt o bryd i’w gilydd; efallai fod un rhan o bedair y boblogaeth yn dioddef ohono’n rheolaidd. Os ydych yn poeni bod aroglau drwg ar eich gwynt, siaradwch â’ch deintydd.
The nicotine and tar in smoke will stain your teeth, it will cause and accelerate gum disease which may lead to tooth loss, you may get bad breath and it also increases your risk of developing mouth and throat (and obviously lung) cancers. Smoking reduces the blood and oxygen supply to the gums. Quite often this will mean that if you smoke your gums don’t bleed (first warning sign of gum disease), even though they are very unhealthy. If you are thinking about quitting please go to http://smokefree.nhs.uk/ where you should find lots of information, support and advice to help you. Mouthwashes will help mask bad breath and may have some effect on the progress of gum disease. You need to visit us regularly so we can check your mouth for the very earliest signs of mouth cancer .
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.
Get to see us as soon as you can, ideally within 60 minutes. If you can’t get to us try another dentist or hospital.
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.
Mae pelydrau-x yn treiddio drwy eich corff ac yn creu delwedd* ar fath arbennig o ffilm neu drwy ganfodydd* electronig. Yr enw ar y ddelwedd a grëir, sef y llun pelydr-x, ydi radiograff.
Mae radiograffau’n galluogi’r deintydd i weld beth sy’n digwydd ymhell i mewn i’r dant a’i wreiddiau. Byddant yn dangos unrhyw bydredd* neu glefyd y gorchfan*, colli asgwrn ac, mewn plant, dangosant sut y mae’r ên yn datblygu hefyd.Mae ar radiograffau angen ychydig bach iawn o ymbelydredd
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.
