Dentistry
Gum disease is important to keep under control. One of the main issues with gum disease is that as soon as you notice it as a patient, it has already got a hold. Gum disease can progress through its stages to become what is known as periodontal disease. Once gum disease has moved to periodontal disease, this affects the bone which surrounds your teeth. If the bone is affected in this way, it has a tendency to shrink back ultimately causing your teeth to become loose and possibly fall out.
Keeping gum disease at bay, is therefore a vital part of any dental health care routine.
It has also been shown that there may be links between gum disease and heart disease. Many infections in the body have oral manifestations to, and there seems to be a link between those patients which have gum disease and those patients who have heart disease. So keeping your gums healthy, not only keeps your mouth healthy, but may also have an impact on keeping your whole body healthy.
If you have any of these signs of gum disease, we recommend that you visit your dentist as soon as possible. Your dentist can then treat the gum disease, to prevent it is turning into a much more serious periodontal disease.
Who treats gum disease?
As dentistry has become more modern and high-tech, various members of the dental team have undertaken special training in order to provide the best dental care for local Bristol patients. A great example of this is hygienists.
Dental hygienists are specially trained in the science of maintaining excellent oral and dental health. They are the dental health adviser in any practice and provide a key role for any patient of that practice. As you will know, the more detailed a person works the more skill and knowledge they have about that particular detailed area. This is exactly the same with dental hygienists, because they work only with oral health they are by far the best person to help you maintain and keep your teeth for life.

📣 An important update from Dr Carol Somerville Roberts
In this video, Carol shares some personal news about reducing her clinical days from early 2026, following advice from her consultant. While this means she’ll be seeing fewer patients day-to-day, Carol will still be very much involved in Evolve Dentistry, continuing to provide treatments such as amalgam removal and cosmetic dentistry, and ensuring we deliver the highest standards of care.
We’re also thrilled to share that Carol will be taking on the role of President of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry this November 👏 — a fantastic recognition of her expertise and dedication to dentistry.
For many patients, your care will now be with Dr Richard Ford, Carol’s long-standing colleague and friend. Richard shares the same commitment to excellence and patient care that Evolve is known for, and we know you’ll be in excellent hands.
Thank you, as always, for your trust and support. 💙
