Face 
Dentistry 
After 5 weeks, the time has come for my first adjustment appointment, normally an adjustment is made every 4 weeks but due to my holiday it was a bit later. It was completely painless but quite an odd feeling with all the things happening in my mouth. It’s amazing how tight my teeth feel again, it just shows how much they have already moved.
One patient told me she loves her monthly adjustment appointments, she likened it to her favourite jeans when they have just been washed before you wear them into bagginess again!! I have had to be a bit careful for the first few days with food again, chopping up chewy or hard things up so that I can eat them easily. I have had no soreness, rubbing of my gums or pain, I think everyone is different though as others that I have spoken to are still using the wax for occasional discomfort.
It was so exciting when Carol showed me the new pictures that she had taken and I could see how much they had moved already!! I’m hoping it won’t be much longer before I am ready to having my brace taken off but I know that they have only been on for 5 weeks, so it will be a few months more. I am happy to wait and get the result I want as I am so pleased with the difference in this short time.
My teeth before my brace was fitted as seen how Carol can see them
My teeth 5 weeks after my brace has been fitted, you can really see how the front teeth are moving!
More next time.

If you’re considering replacing an amalgam filling, you may have come across the term SMART.
SMART stands for Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique. It is a protocol designed to reduce exposure to mercury vapour and particles while an amalgam filling is being removed.
At Evolve, SMART amalgam removal is available for adults who have made an informed decision to replace their amalgam fillings.
Importantly, we don’t suggest that everyone should have their amalgam fillings removed, and we don’t make claims that removing them will improve your general health.
Swipe through for a simple explanation of what the SMART approach involves.

If you’ve never visited Evolve before, here’s a little look around.
We know that walking into a new dental practice can feel daunting, particularly if it’s been a while since your last appointment.
We’ve designed Evolve to feel calm, welcoming and a little different from what you might expect from a dental practice.
But the most important part isn’t the building. It’s how you’re made to feel when you’re here.
Come in, make yourself comfortable in our patient lounge and let us look after you.

Gum disease can be surprisingly easy to overlook.
Bleeding when you brush, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath or gums that seem to be receding are all things worth paying attention to.
The important thing is not to wait until something hurts. Gum disease can develop without causing pain, which is one reason regular dental and hygiene appointments matter.
In this short video, Yasmin explains some of the signs to look out for.
If you’ve noticed a change in your gums, mention it at your next appointment or get in touch with the team.

🦷 Day one, first clinic!
Carol has sent us the first photos from her trip — and what a first day it’s been!
Working alongside five other dentists, the team saw an incredible 197 patients in just one day. ❤️
In Carol’s words:
“I’ve taken out more teeth today than I have in the past year!”
A very different day in dentistry from the ones Carol is used to back home at Evolve, and a reminder of just how much need there is for the care the team is providing.
We’re so proud of her — and we’ll be sharing more updates and photos from Carol’s trip as they come in. 🌍🦷

Ever run your tongue over your teeth and wonder why they suddenly feel rough?
There are a few possible reasons, from plaque build-up to changes in the surface of a tooth.
In this short video, Yasmin explains some of the common causes and when it’s worth mentioning it to your dentist.
Noticing small changes in your mouth is useful. You don’t need to diagnose them yourself, but do tell us if something feels different.
