How to prepare for your amalgam removal appointment

How to prepare for your amalgam removal appointment

If you’ve decided to have your amalgam fillings removed, you may be wondering how to prepare for your appointment. While your dentist will handle the procedure itself, there are steps you can take to ensure a smooth experience.

Before your amalgam removal appointment in Bristol:

  • Schedule a consultation – Discuss your treatment plan with your dentist and ask any questions. You may be advised to take supplements beforehand. 
  • Stay hydrated – Good hydration supports overall wellness before and after dental procedures.
  • Eat a balanced meal – Eat something light before your appointment can help you feel more comfortable. Do not drink alcohol.
  • Plan for rest – Avoid scheduling strenuous activities immediately after your procedure.

What to bring:

  • Comfortable clothing – Dress in layers so you can adjust for comfort.
  • Lip balm – Helps prevent dryness during the procedure.
  • Music or podcasts – Bring headphones if you’d like to listen to something during treatment.

A little preparation can make your experience more comfortable. If you have any concerns, our team is here to help.

🦷 Dental myth or dental fact? 🤔

One of the most common myths we hear is that teeth whitening is bad for your teeth.

In this video, Maggie explains why professionally prescribed teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile when carried out under the guidance of a dental professional.

Unfortunately, misinformation can stop people from exploring treatments that could help them feel more confident about their smile. That’s why we’re passionate about sharing trusted advice and helping patients make informed decisions about their oral health.

🥤 Are sugary drinks really bad for your teeth?

It’s a question we hear all the time.

In this video, our Therapist Flora explains how sugary drinks can affect your teeth and why it’s not just the amount of sugar that matters, but how often you’re having it throughout the day.

The good news? You don’t have to give up all your favourite drinks. A few simple changes can make a big difference to your oral health.

Watch Flora’s advice and let us know if there’s a dental question you’d like us to answer next.

At Evolve, we’re incredibly proud of our team - not just for the care they provide to our patients, but for the difference they make beyond the practice too. 💜

On 30 July, our wonderful dental nurse, Kayse, and her brother will be taking on an incredible challenge by completing a charity skydive in support of Alzheimer’s Research UK.

They’re stepping well outside their comfort zones to raise money for a cause that means so much. Alzheimer’s and dementia affect millions of families, taking away precious memories and changing lives forever. By supporting Alzheimer’s Research UK, they’re helping to fund vital research into better treatments and, one day, a cure.

Their fundraising target is £650, and every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a real difference.

If you’d like to support Kayse and her brother, you can donate here:

Good luck with the jump Kayse - we know you’ll be amazing! ✈️💜

“How long will it take?” 🤔

It’s one of the first questions we hear from patients considering teeth straightening - and the honest answer is that every smile is different.

Some patients achieve their desired results in as little as six months, while more complex cases may take longer. The good news is that modern orthodontic treatment is carefully planned from the start, so you’ll have a clear idea of what to expect before treatment begins.

At Evolve Dentistry, we’ll assess your smile, discuss your goals and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to you.

Whether you’re looking to correct crowding, close gaps or improve the overall appearance of your smile, the journey may be shorter than you think.

It’s World Wellbeing Week, and we’d love to hear from you!

Looking after your wellbeing doesn’t have to mean making big changes. Sometimes it’s the simple things that make the biggest difference - a walk in the fresh air, spending time with family, exercising, reading a good book or enjoying a coffee with a friend.

At Evolve, we know that looking after your wellbeing is an important part of living a happy, healthy life.

So, here’s our question:

💙 What is your favourite way to look after your wellbeing?

☀️ Staying cool during the heatwave ☀️

We’ve seen that some local schools are closing due to the extreme temperatures this week, but we’d like to reassure our patients that Evolve Dentistry remains open as usual.

Our practice is fully air-conditioned, providing a cool and comfortable environment for your appointment, and we always have plenty of chilled water available for patients and visitors.

If you have an appointment booked with us, please continue to attend as planned. If you’re travelling in the heat, we recommend allowing a little extra time for your journey and bringing a water bottle with you.

Thank you for your continued support, and please take care in the hot weather. 🌞💙

A smile says more than words ever could.

We’re delighted to share this patient’s smile transformation with Dr Richard Ford. Every treatment journey is unique, but the goal is always the same - helping our patients feel confident when they smile.

Seeing the happiness and confidence at the end of treatment is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.

If you’ve been thinking about improving your smile, we’d love to help you explore your options.
