We’re really excited at Evolve Dentistry in Portishead, Bristol, because we have a new team member… Hannah Mundy has relocated to Bristol from Essex to join us as a dental hygienist, and she’s so lovely that we’re really pleased she has! We thought this would be the perfect opportunity to introduce Hannah to our patients, in her own words…
“I’m originally from the Midlands but have moved around the country quite a lot because I like to try different things. I’ve also lived in Cornwall and Kent but I think Bristol is where I’ll settle as I had been looking to move here for a while.
I started working in dentistry straight after school, as a dental nurse. I really enjoyed this role and was doing that for 14 years before I decided to take the next step and qualify as a dental hygienist. I had got to the point where I felt that I needed to push myself further and do something new, but I love dentistry so much and felt that I was providing a valuable service as a nurse, so I decided to stay within the profession and enhance my skills.
Being a dental hygienist now I get to talk to patients a lot more than when I was a nurse, which I enjoy. It’s a much more hands-on role and it makes me feel as though I’ve helped people, which gives me real job satisfaction.
I joined Evolve because the team are very welcoming and it is a lovely practice; I could tell that Carol has put a lot of effort into making it so! For me, it was important that the equipment that I am using is of a high standard as this means I can provide the best service to patients. I found this to be the case at Evolve Dentistry, I can rest assured that all of the products and tools are the best quality and I know that the rest of the team are also committed to carrying out a top class dentistry. We work so closely that it is vital to fit in with the team, as well as the ethos of a practice, so I’m glad I found this job! I’ve only been in the role a couple of days so far but the staff and patients have all been so friendly and helpful that I feel like I’m settling in well.
My top dental hygiene tip might sound silly but it is really important… Make sure you change your toothbrush regularly, at least every 3 months. That advice goes for both manual and electric toothbrushes, you should change those heads too!
In my spare time I enjoy visiting museums and galleries as I like modern culture, I’ve already been to the Bristol museum since moving here. I also really love music, at the moment my favourite album is Spaces by Nils Frahm (available on Spotify), which is new modern piano and I find it both motivational and relaxing; I highly recommend it! Food is a big thing for me, both cooking it and eating it. Japanese food is a real favourite, maybe because our holiday to Japan was incredible. I’m hoping to visit Hong Kong in March and, because I’ve not been to America yet this could then be my next big holiday adventure!”

Why do gums bleed when you brush?
If you’ve noticed your gums bleeding when brushing your teeth, you’re not alone - and it’s usually a sign your gums are inflamed.
In many cases this happens when plaque builds up along the gum line. The gums become irritated and more fragile, which means they can bleed more easily when brushing.
The good news is that with consistent oral hygiene - brushing thoroughly twice a day and cleaning between your teeth - many people notice improvement within a couple of weeks.
However, if the bleeding continues, it’s worth having it checked. Regular bleeding can sometimes indicate gum disease, and an examination at the practice allows us to assess your gum health and give the right advice.

How long do veneers last?
Veneers are a popular way to improve the shape, colour and appearance of teeth - but a question we’re often asked is how long they actually last.
In this video, Carol explains what patients can typically expect from veneers and the factors that help them last as long as possible. With good oral hygiene, regular dental examinations and careful habits, veneers can look beautiful for many years.
Every smile is different, so if you’re considering veneers, the first step is a consultation where we can talk through your goals and the options available.
If you’d like to find out whether veneers could be right for you, our reception team would be happy to help you book an appointment.

How often should you really visit the dentist?
Many people assume the answer is every six months - but the truth is that it isn’t the same for everyone.
Your ideal recall interval depends on factors such as your oral health, gum health and your personal risk of tooth decay. Some patients only need to visit once a year, while others benefit from coming in more regularly so we can keep everything healthy and catch problems early.
The most important step is attending for an examination so we can assess your oral health and recommend the right recall schedule for you.

If you’re unsure when you should next be seen, our team will be happy to help.
