Mae iechyd y geg yn cyfrannu at iechyd a llesiant ehangach. Mae’n rhaid i ni roi gwybodaeth a grym i gleifion a’r cyhoedd er mwyn iddynt werthfawrogi, cynnal a diogelu iechyd eu ceg, ac iechyd ceg eu dibynyddion.  Rydym eisiau i gleifion ddeall sut y mae eu dewisiadau yn effeithio ar eu tebygolrwydd o ddatblygu afiechydon deintyddol. Rydym eisiau i dimau deintyddol bersonoli negeseuon allweddol, i ddarparu cyngor a gofal cyson, a fydd yn cynorthwyo cleifion i leihau eu risg o ddioddef afiechydon y geg. Mae’r adnodd ‘risg ac anghenion’ – Asesiad Risg ac Anghenion Clinigol y Geg (ACORN) – a’r wybodaeth i gleifion a ddatblygwyd mewn practisau sy’n rhan o’r diwygio, yn ein helpu i wneud hyn.
Good oral health makes a contribution to wider health and well-being. We must inform and empower patients and the public to value, maintain and protect their own oral health, and that of their dependents.  We want patients to understand how their choices affect their likelihood of developing dental disease. We want dental teams to personalise key messages, to deliver consistent advice and care, which will assist patients to lower their risk of oral disease. The ‘risk and need’ tool - the Assessment of Clinical Oral Risk and Needs (ACORN) – and its patient facing information which was developed in reform practices, is helping us to do this.
