How common is dental phobia?
Fear of the dentist is incredibly common, with surveys estimating that it can affect 13%-24% around the world. For most, whilst difficult, it’s not disabling. However, some people are so fearful of visiting the dentist that they don’t visit at all.
What causes dental phobia?
The majority of people don’t know where their fear of the dentist comes from, it could be because their parents were nervous, or they have been told stories from friends as a child. Perhaps they had an experience at the dentist that has made them fearful.
How can I get over my fear of the dentist?
At Evolve, we see a lot of patients that are nervous about visiting the dentist. It’s important to us that we give patients the time to discuss their concerns with us so that we can understand what we can do to help them feel as comfortable as possible when visiting us.
Some of our patients visit us on quieter days, or bring headphones with them so that they can listen to their favourite music or podcast. Julie, one of our Treatment Co-ordinators can spend time with you ahead of your appointment to help you with some breathing techniques.
If you have concerns about visiting the dentist, call Julie or Rachael our Treatment Co-ordinators, on 01275 842550, to discuss how we can help you.

We love seeing our team grow ✨
Hannah, our Hygienist, attending an implant training course to expand her skills and knowledge—so our patients benefit from the very latest in dental care.
Behind every great patient experience is a well-trained, passionate team 🦷✨
Yesterday was all about learning, growing and investing in our skills—because our patients deserve the very best.
Dear patients and friends,
Evolve Dentistry will be closed today as our team takes part in a full day of training. 📚
🦷 We believe that continually developing our skills is essential to providing you with the highest level of care and the best possible experience every time you visit.
If you have an emergency please call 01275 842 550.
🦷 Grinding your teeth can take a toll over the years. Jason’s worn and chipped teeth have now been beautifully restored with composite bonding at Evolve Dentistry!

We’re excited to invite you to a special event we’re hosting at Evolve Dentistry on Monday 15th December, and we’d love for you to be part of it.
From 10am to 3pm, we’ll be running a Cyclathon at the practice to help raise funds for Bridge2Aid, a charity providing vital emergency dental care and training in communities that need it most.
This year, our very own Carol Somerville Roberts is taking on the incredible Peaks to Plains Safari Cycle Challenge in Tanzania, and this event is part of her fundraising efforts.
How you can get involved:
🚴♂️ Hop on a bike – join us for a few minutes (or more!) and help us cover as many miles as possible.
💙 Come along to cheer us on – your support means so much.
📱 Make a donation on the day – we’ll have SumUp, cash collection, and QR code donation options available.
If the weather is kind, we’ll be cycling outside Evolve; if not, we’ll set up indoors, so the event will go ahead either way.
Whether you’re keen to pedal or just pop by to show your support, we’d absolutely love to see you there. Every mile and every pound makes a real difference to the communities Bridge2Aid supports.
Thank you in advance for your kindness and encouragement — it means the world to us and to Carol.

✨ What is amalgam removal — and when do we use the SMART protocol?
In this video, Carol Somerville Roberts explains what amalgam removal involves and the different options available to patients.
Some patients choose to have their amalgam fillings replaced for cosmetic reasons, while others request that the removal is carried out using the SMART protocol.
For those who request the SMART protocol, it provides an enhanced approach designed to minimise exposure during the procedure, with additional safety measures for both patients and our team.
If you’re considering having your amalgam fillings replaced — with or without the SMART protocol — our team is here to guide you through your options. 💙
