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!”

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 ✨

Brushing your teeth is important… but it’s only part of the story 🦷
In this video, Richard explains why cleaning between your teeth matters too - and the different ways you can do it, including:
✔ Floss
✔ TePe brushes
✔ Water flossers
Your toothbrush can’t always reach the tight spaces between your teeth, which means plaque and food can build up in these areas over time.
Cleaning between your teeth daily can help reduce:
✨ Gum problems
✨ Bad breath
✨ Tooth decay between teeth
Not sure which option is best for you? There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, and our team can help you find what works best for your smile and lifestyle.

Do you wake up with jaw pain, headaches or tension in your face? You could be clenching or grinding your teeth without even realising it.
In this video, Yasmin discusses how neurotoxin injections may help relieve symptoms associated with TMJ problems and teeth grinding.
For some patients, treatment can help to:
✨ Relax overactive jaw muscles
✨ Reduce clenching and grinding
✨ Ease tension and discomfort
✨ Help with headaches linked to jaw strain
Many people grind their teeth during sleep or clench during stressful periods, often without knowing they’re doing it.
If you’ve been experiencing symptoms such as:
• Jaw ache
• Facial tension
• Headaches
• Worn teeth
• Clicking or tightness in the jaw
…it may be worth exploring your options.

✨ A little update from us at Evolve Dentistry ✨
As many of our patients know, our practice is currently closed this week while essential repair work is being carried out.
While everything is being completed, we’d just like to gently remind everyone not to leave any dental concerns until the last minute where possible. If something doesn’t feel quite right, please get in touch with us sooner rather than later so we can help arrange the most appropriate care for you.
Thank you so much for your patience, kindness and understanding while the work takes place - we’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back very soon. 💙

Did you know? 👀
One of the simplest ways to improve your oral health is cleaning between your teeth every day.
Your toothbrush cleans the front, back and biting surfaces of your teeth - but it can’t always reach the tight spaces in between, where plaque and food can build up.
Using interdental brushes or floss daily can help:
✨ Reduce gum problems
✨ Freshen breath
✨ Lower the risk of decay between teeth
Not sure which products are best for you? Our team would always be happy to help guide you.
Small habits really do make a big difference 💙
