Uwch Ddarlithydd Clinigol ac Ymgynghorydd Anrhydeddus mewn Iechyd Cyhoeddus Deintyddol
Trosolwyg
Rwy'n Uwch Ddarlithydd Clinigol ac yn Ymgynghorydd Anrhydeddus mewn Iechyd Cyhoeddus Deintyddol yn Ysgol Ddeintyddiaeth Prifysgol Caerdydd. Rwy'n cael fy nghydnabod gan y Cyngor Deintyddol Cyffredinol fel Arbenigwr mewn Iechyd Cyhoeddus Deintyddol ac rwy'n Gymrawd o'r Gyfadran Iechyd Cyhoeddus. Rwyf wedi cael fy nghydnabod fel Arweinydd sy'n Dod i'r Amlwg mewn Ymchwil Iechyd a Gofal Cymdeithasol gan Ymchwil Iechyd a Gofal Cymru, sy'n adlewyrchu fy ymrwymiad i wella iechyd y geg poblogaeth drwy ymchwil, addysg a gwasanaeth y GIG.
Mae fy ngwaith yn cwmpasu ymchwil i weithredu tystiolaeth, defnyddio gwrthfiotigau deintyddol, effaith tlodi ar iechyd y geg, a chefnogi gwneud penderfyniadau ar y cyd mewn ymarfer clinigol. Mae gen i dros £0.5M o ddal grantiau, hanner hyn fel Prif Ymchwilydd.
Rwy'n addysgu Iechyd Cyhoeddus Deintyddol a Deintyddiaeth Seiliedig ar Dystiolaeth i fyfyrwyr israddedig ac ôl-raddedig ac yn goruchwylio ymchwil ôl-raddedig. Rwy'n darparu arweinyddiaeth academaidd i Uned Gwybodaeth Iechyd y Geg Cymru, gan gynnwys Rhaglen Epidemioleg Ddeintyddol GIG Cymru.
Fi yw'r Arweinydd ar gyfer Effaith, Cyfnewid Gwybodaeth ac Ymgysylltu ar gyfer yr Ysgol Ddeintyddiaeth.

Ymchwil
Prosiectau wedi'u hamlygu
CAM 2 - Ymgysylltu â rhanddeiliaid i wneud y gorau o effaith rhaglenni brwsio dannedd dan oruchwyliaeth
Mae pydredd dannedd ymhlith plant Cymru yn gwella ond mae'n parhau i fod yn uchel, gyda 32.4% o blant 5 oed wedi'u heffeithio yn 2022/23. Mae'r rhaglen Designed to Smile (D2S) yn targedu plant mewn ardaloedd difreintiedig gyda brwsio dannedd dan oruchwyliaeth, farnais fflworid, a chymorth rhieni. Er bod cyfranogiad yn gryf cyn y pandemig, gwelodd y rhaglen ostyngiad sylweddol mewn ymgysylltiad ar ôl tarfu COVID-19. Er bod cyfranogiad ysgolion meithrin bron wedi dychwelyd i'r lefelau blaenorol, mae cyfranogiad ysgolion cynradd yn parhau i fod yn is na'r cyfraddau cyn y pandemig.
Nod yr astudiaeth yw archwilio pa ffactorau sy'n rhwystro neu'n hwyluso recriwtio ysgolion cynradd yn gadarnhaol i'r rhaglen Designed to Smile (D2S).
Bydd yr astudiaeth yn defnyddio cyfweliadau lled-strwythuredig ansoddol i archwilio safbwyntiau rhanddeiliaid allweddol sy'n ymwneud â'r rhaglen D2S a'r rhai sy'n ymwneud â'r broses o wneud penderfyniadau gyda'r ysgolion cynradd sy'n cymryd rhan/nad ydynt yn cymryd rhan.
Ariennir yr astudiaeth hon gan Gyfrif Cyflymu Effaith Cytûn y Cyngor Ymchwil Feddygol.
Addysgu
Rwy'n addysgu Iechyd Cyhoeddus Deintyddol a Deintyddiaeth Seiliedig ar Dystiolaeth ar raglenni BDS BSc a Deintyddfa Hylendid Deintyddol a Therapi.
Rwy'n arholwr allanol ar gyfer cwrs BDS Prifysgol Birmingham ac MSc mewn Iechyd Cyhoeddus Deintyddol Coleg y Brenin, Llundain.
Bywgraffiad
Graddiais o Brifysgol Caerdydd gydag anrhydedd dosbarth cyntaf mewn Baglor mewn Llawfeddygaeth Ddeintyddol yn 2009 ac yna cwblheais PhD yn 2015 a gradd Meistr mewn Iechyd y Cyhoedd (gyda rhagoriaeth) yn 2018. Dechreuais hyfforddiant arbenigedd Iechyd y Cyhoedd Deintyddol yn 2015 a phasio'r Arholiad Cymrodoriaeth Arbenigedd Cyd-golegol yn 2020 a dyfarnwyd y Dystysgrif Cwblhau Hyfforddiant Arbenigol i mi yn 2021. Mae gen i gofrestriad llawn gyda'r Cyngor Deintyddol Cyffredinol ac rydw i wedi fy enwi ar y rhestr arbenigol ar gyfer Iechyd Cyhoeddus Deintyddol. Ymunais â Phrifysgol Caerdydd fel Uwch Ddarlithydd Clinigol ac Ymgynghorydd Anrhydeddus mewn Iechyd Cyhoeddus Deintyddol ym mis Medi 2021.
