Rydym hefyd yn gweld nifer cynyddol o blant yn mynychu deintyddfeydd ‘stryd fawr' ac mae tystiolaeth bod rhieni’n cael eu dylanwadu gan gyngor a roddir gan dimau Cynllun Gwên. Ar yr un pryd â’r nifer uchaf erioed o blant yn mynd at y deintydd, rydym wedi gweld nifer y triniaethau clinigol a gyflawnir ar blant yn lleihau, gyda 35,000 yn llai o lenwadau a thros 6,000 yn llai o achosion o dynnu dannedd na 5 mlynedd yn ôl - arwydd arall o wella iechyd y geg mewn plant. Rydym hefyd yn gweld cyfran uwch o blant yn derbyn farnais fflworid a radiograffau fel rhan o’u triniaeth. Mae hyn yn awgrymu bod atal yn cael ei gynnwys mewn darpariaeth gofal deintyddol sylfaenol a bod y tueddiadau hyn yn gyson â chanllawiau’r Cynllun Gwên sy’n seiliedig ar dystiolaeth
We are also witnessing an increasing number of children attending ‘high street’ dental practices and there is evidence parents are being influenced by advice given by Designed to Smile teams. At the same time as record number of children going to the dentist, we have seen the number of clinical treatments undertaken on children reduce, with 35,000 fewer fillings and over 6,000 fewer extractions than 5 years ago – another sign of improving oral health in children. We are also seeing an increased proportion of children receiving fluoride varnish and radiographs as part of their treatment. This suggests that prevention is being stepped up in primary dental care delivery and these trends are consistent with the evidence informed guidelines of Designed to Smile.
