Cyhoeddwyd yr adroddiad gan Uned Gwybodaeth Iechyd Geneuol Cymru mewn partneriaeth ag Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru, ac mae'n dangos y gwelwyd gostyngiad sylweddol yn nifer yr achosion o bydredd dannedd ymysg plant, o 45% yn 2004/05 i 30% yn 2016/17\. 

Yn 2008/09, lansiodd Llywodraeth Cymru yr ymgyrch Cynllun Gwên i wella iechyd y geg ymysg plant ac mae wedi bod yn treialu dull ataliol wrth ofalu mewn practisau deintyddol yng Nghymru. 

Dywedodd yr Ysgrifennydd Iechyd, Vaughan Gething: 


> "Rwy'n falch iawn o weld y cynnydd sy'n cael ei wneud o ran lleihau pydredd dannedd ymysg plant. Mae'n amlwg bod buddsoddiad Llywodraeth Cymru yn yr ymgyrch Cynllun Gwên a mynediad at wasanaethau deintyddol ataliol yn cael effaith go iawn ledled Cymru. 
> 
> Fodd bynnag, ni allwn fodloni ar hynny. Rydyn ni wedi ailwampio ein rhaglen atal i gynnwys mwy o help i blant ifanc iawn a'u rhieni, ac rydyn ni hefyd yn dwysáu camau atal ar gyfer oedolion hŷn."

Ychwanegodd Prif Swyddog Deintyddol Cymru, Colette Bridgman: 


> "Mae pydredd dannedd yn annymunol iawn. Mae'n gallu bod yn brofiad poenus, yn ddrud i'w drin ond eto mae modd ei atal i raddau helaeth. Mae ymchwil wedi dangos bod pydredd dannedd yn aml yn dechrau'n gynnar, felly ymyrryd yn gynnar fydd yn cael yr effaith fwyaf. Mae'r dystiolaeth bellach yn glir y gall buddsoddiad parhaus mewn gwasanaethau atal a rhaglenni sydd wedi'u targedu at y boblogaeth leihau nifer yr achosion o bydredd dannedd. 
> 
> Mae'n bwysig bod pob plentyn ifanc yng Nghymru yn cael cymorth i frwsio'i ddannedd gyda phast dannedd fflworid amser gwely, ac ar un achlysur arall bob dydd. Bydd peidio ag yfed na bwyta unrhyw beth melys awr cyn mynd i'r gwely hefyd yn helpu i ddiogelu dannedd rhag pydru."

The Welsh Oral Health Information Unit (Cardiff University) report, published in partnership with Public Health Wales, shows that the percentage of children experiencing obvious tooth decay has dropped significantly from 45% in 2004/05 to 30 % in 2016/17\. 

The Welsh Government launched the Designed to Smile campaign in 2008/09 to improve children’s oral health and has been piloting a preventive approach to care in dental practices across Wales. 

Health Secretary, Vaughan Gething said:  


> “I am very pleased to see the progress being made in reducing tooth decay in children. It is obvious the Welsh Government’s investment in Designed to Smile and access to preventive dental services is having a real impact across Wales.
> 
> However there is no room for complacency. We have revamped our prevention programme to include more help for very young children and their parents and we are also stepping up prevention for older adults.”

The Chief Dental Officer for Wales, Colette Bridgman added:


> “Dental decay is unpleasant, can be painful to experience, it is costly to treat and yet is largely preventable. Research has shown that dental decay often starts early and therefore early prevention will have the most impact. The evidence is now clear that sustained investment in prevention in services and targeted population programmes can reduce dental decay. 
> 
> It is important that every young child in Wales is supervised to brush their teeth with family fluoride toothpaste at bedtime, and on one other occasion every day. Having nothing sweet to eat or drink in the last hour before bedtime will also help to protect teeth from decay."
