Corporate dental insurers Unum Dental carried out some research last year that revealed some interesting facts. According to a survey of more than 2,000 private sector employees, more than a fifth (24%) of British workers say that a fear of feeling pain or discomfort is the reason they avoid the dentist.
Women were found to be more afraid, with over a quarter (27%) declaring that they put off the recommended two dental health examinations a year out of fear of pain, compared to 22% of men.
Poor dental health risks
Poor dental health is linked to heart disease, bacterial lung infections, premature births, diabetes and strokes, meaning regular visits for dental health reviews are vital to maintaining good general health and dental wellbeing.
We know that it has been difficult to keep on top of regular dental visits over the past few months due to the government’s decision to close dental practices. Evolve Dentistry is delighted to have reopened and we have heavily invested in anti-virus protection, on top of our usual strict decontamination measures to help put your mind at rest.
Looking after anxious patients
Please don’t neglect your dental wellbeing because of dental phobia. At Evolve Dentistry we find that even with the most nervous of patients, all they need is time and kindness. Therefore, our principal dentist Dr Carol Somerville Roberts, ensures our appointments are calm, unhurried and welcoming.
If you are anxious about your dental or hygiene appointments, try contacting us first for a chat.
We encourage dentally phobic patients to pop in, meet our team and have a look around our Portishead dental practice before going anywhere near a dental chair.
The door to our Harbour Road dental practice is always open to new patients, so please feel free to contact us now for more information. We look forward to meeting you soon.

As Smile Month comes to a close, we’ve loved celebrating 50 years of promoting healthy smiles 🦷✨
The message behind Smile Month is simple, but important:
✔ Brush well
✔ Clean between your teeth
✔ Visit your dentist regularly
✔ Look after your overall health too
Prevention is always better than cure, and small consistent habits can make a huge difference over time.
Thank you for following along with our Smile Month posts this year - and thank you for continuing to support our practice and our team 💙
Here’s to many more healthy smiles to come.

Years of teeth grinding had left Mandy unhappy with the appearance of her teeth - so she came to see Richard to explore her options.
Using carefully planned composite bonding, we were able to restore her smile while improving the worn appearance caused by grinding, helping her feel more confident again. ✨
In this video, Mandy shares her experience and why she decided to go ahead with treatment at Evolve Dentistry.
If you’ve noticed wear, chipping or shortening of your teeth from grinding or clenching, there may be options available to help protect and improve your smile.

Confidence can change everything - and sometimes, the smallest changes to your smile can make the biggest difference to how you feel day to day.
Whether it’s hiding your smile in photos, covering your mouth when you laugh, or simply not feeling like the best version of yourself, cosmetic dentistry can help you feel more comfortable and confident again.
At Evolve Dentistry, we take the time to understand what matters to you and create natural-looking results that still feel like you.
If you’ve been thinking about improving your smile, we’d love to help you explore your options. ✨

There’s nothing better than hearing how much more confident a patient feels after Invisalign treatment 💙
In this video, our lovely patient shares her experience with Invisalign treatment with Yasmin at Evolve Dentistry, and how supported she felt throughout the process by our kind and considerate team.
Straightening your teeth is about so much more than appearances – it’s about feeling confident when you smile, laugh and look in the mirror.
If you’ve been thinking about Invisalign treatment, we’d love to help you explore your options.

A smile can change so much 💙
For many people, improving their oral health or feeling more confident about their smile can have a real impact on everyday life - from photographs, to social situations, to simply feeling more comfortable being themselves.
Smile Month is a reminder that dental care isn’t just about treatment - it’s about helping people feel healthier, happier and more confident too.
Whether it’s maintaining healthy teeth and gums, straightening teeth, whitening, or simply helping nervous patients feel at ease, every smile journey matters.
Thank you for trusting us with yours ✨
