Mae mwyafrif gwasanaethau deintyddol y GIG yng Nghymru yn cael eu darparu mewn lleoliadau gofal sylfaenol gan gontractwyr annibynnol.

Dyma pam y mae’r rhaglen ddiwygio deintyddol yn canolbwyntio ar atal, wedi’i arwain gan anghenion ac yn destun dulliau mesur canlyniadau.
The majority of access to NHS dental services in Wales is delivered in a primary care setting by independent contractors. We have acknowledged that the NHS dental contractual system is built around providing treatment. That is why the dental reform programme is prevention focussed, needs led and will in time be outcome measured.
