If you have severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding or swelling and it is out of working hours, please call the practice number 01275 842 550 and listen to the instructions.
There is a £250 call out charge to see a dentist and this includes basic treatment. Members of the practice do not pay this fee.
An avulsed tooth is a tooth that has been knocked out of its socket, this means it is either totally out and lying on the floor, or is hanging in the mouth by the nerve or thinly attached piece of tissue. If the tooth is still in place but loose or dislodged then this is not totally avulsed and the treatment is slightly different.
It is also worth noting that the information below is for an adult tooth, children’s teeth (deciduous) teeth are often knocked out much more easily but the implications are far less severe as they will have their adult teeth underneath. We’d still recommend visiting a dentist, but it is normally not an emergency and applying pressure to the bleeding socket should be sufficient along with some pain killers appropriate to the child age. If any other injuries are sustained or the person is unconscious at any point, even for a couple of minutes, seek medical advice.
The first thing to assess is the tooth itself if it is shattered then replacing it will be difficult. However, if it is in one piece it may be possible to replace it.
If the tooth has shattered, then try to gather all the pieces together and keep them in water to prevent them drying out. Then call us for an emergency appointment. We may be able to replant the tooth, but worst case is that the pieces can be used to help us as a guide when making a replacement tooth for you. We will do everything that we can to make sure you can smile again as soon as possible.

Our Gromits have become quite the local celebrities here at Evolve 🐾💛
So many of you pop into our patient lounge just to see the collection, and we love how much joy they bring to patients of all ages.
At the moment, two of our Gromits seem to have wandered off on an adventure! We’re hoping they simply need a little help finding their way home.
If you happen to spot them locally or see anything that looks like part of our collection being sold, we’d really appreciate you letting us know. You can message us privately or call the practice.
They’re part of what makes Evolve feel like Evolve — and we’d love to have the whole family back together again.
Thank you for always looking out for us 💛

😴 Can snoring affect your oral health?
In our latest Two Thirty video, Maggie answers a question many people don’t think to ask — can snoring impact your teeth and gums?
The short answer is yes, it can.
Snoring is often linked to breathing through your mouth at night, which can cause a dry mouth. Saliva plays an important role in protecting your teeth, so when your mouth is dry, you may be more prone to tooth decay and bad breath.
If you snore and have noticed dryness, increased decay or concerns about your breath, it’s worth mentioning at your next appointment.
Our reception team at Evolve Dentistry in Portishead will be happy to arrange a consultation if you’d like advice.


⏰ Smile hack: When you brush matters
Did you know it’s not just how long you brush — but when you brush — that makes a difference? Maggie shares an important smile hack about timing your toothbrushing properly.
Brushing straight after eating — especially after acidic foods or drinks like fruit, juice or coffee — can actually do more harm than good. Your enamel is slightly softened, and brushing immediately can cause wear.
Maggie explains the best time to brush and why waiting can help protect your teeth long term.
It’s a small change that can make a big difference to your oral health.
