Health and safety

Your health and safety is of paramount importance to us and is constantly reviewed in line with current regulations. Please notify a member of staff if you notice any area of concern so immediate action can be taken.

Patient safety charter

Our practice has a safety culture which means that patient safety is at the forefront of everyone’s minds not only when delivering healthcare but also when setting objectives, developing procedures, purchasing new products and equipment. It is also a culture that is open and fair, where team members can discuss the challenges they face at work for the best interests of our patients. For patient safety we:

  • Follow the latest infection prevention guidelines including those from NHS England
  • Use dental instruments that are single use or are sterilised after use
  • Decontaminate work areas including the dental chair, hand held equipment and cupboard handles, in between patients
  • Maintain a high standard of personal hygiene including clinical clothing and the restricted wearing of jewellery
  • Monitor practice water for quality. Dental unit waterlines are disinfected and kept clear
  • Handle waste according to current regulations and dispose of it with appropriate carriers
  • Take expert advice if a team member may have a blood borne infection. The team member will have an occupational health examination and follow the advice on their role in treating patients
  • All our team members are trained in safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults and follow the practice safeguarding procedures, which are regularly monitored and reviewed.

We run a clinical governance system which uses integrated risk management to identify, assess, analyse and manager all risks and incidents. The goal is continuous improvement in our care and service to you.

The Practice Manager has the overall responsibility at the practice. The team is supported through regular meetings, staff training, personal development and regular appraisals. The practice always welcomes questions, comments and suggestions from patients.

Please contact the practice manager if you have any questions or concerns.

You might notice a familiar face missing from Evolve for a little while… 💚

Carol is heading to Zambia with SmileStar, a dental charity providing free dental care to communities with limited access to treatment.

In this video, Carol shares a little more about where she’s going, what she’ll be doing while she’s there and why she wanted to be part of the trip.

It’s going to be a very different couple of weeks away from the practice, and we’re incredibly proud to see Carol giving her time and skills to support SmileStar’s work.

We’ll be sharing a little more from her trip when we can, but for now, we’ll let Carol tell you all about it in her own words. 💚

Safe travels, Carol. We can’t wait to hear all about it when you’re home!

Our Macmillan Coffee Morning is in full swing at Evolve Dentistry, and we’d love to see you!

We’ve got plenty of delicious homemade cakes waiting for you, so pop in, say hello, grab a slice (or two!) and help us raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

We’ll be serving cakes right through until 5pm today, so there’s still plenty of time to come down.

🍰☕ Today’s the day - and there’s cake! 💚

Our Macmillan Coffee Morning is happening TODAY at Evolve Dentistry and we’d love you to come and join us.

The Evolve team have been busy baking (and possibly buying… we won’t judge! 😉) and there’ll be plenty of cake and drinks available throughout the day, all in support of Macmillan Cancer Support.

And remember - you don’t need to be an Evolve patient to come along.

If you live or work in Portishead, are passing by, or just fancy an excellent excuse for cake, pop in and see us. Bring a friend, your family or your workmates too!

📍 Evolve Dentistry, Portishead
🍰 Cake and drinks throughout the day
💚 Donations for Macmillan Cancer Support
👋 Everyone welcome

No appointment needed - just pop in!

Come and help us eat an unreasonable amount of cake for a very good cause. 💚

Please share so we can get as many people through the doors as possible!
Do I have to replace a missing tooth?

If you've lost a tooth, do you have to replace it?

Not necessarily.

And that's an important starting point.

What happens next depends on which tooth is missing, your mouth, how you bite, how you feel about the gap and what's happening with the teeth around it.

Yasmin explains some of the things we consider when a tooth is missing.

The important thing isn't assuming you need a particular treatment.

It's understanding your options - including whether doing nothing could be a reasonable option for you.
Why have my teeth suddenly become sensitive?

That sudden zing when you drink something cold. 🥶

Sound familiar?

Sensitive teeth are common, but there isn't just one possible cause.

Richard explains some of the reasons teeth can become sensitive and why it's worth mentioning if you've noticed something new.

Sometimes a little sensitivity is exactly that.

But a change that persists is something we'd rather know about than have you quietly avoiding ice cream for the foreseeable future.
Having a tooth removed probably isn't an appointment anyone particularly looks forward to.

Which is precisely why feedback like this means so much:

“Made getting a tooth extracted incredibly easy and straightforward.”

Good dental care isn't only about the procedure itself.

It's about knowing what's going to happen, being able to ask questions, feeling listened to and being looked after throughout.

Thank you for trusting us with your care - and for taking the time to tell us about your experience.
