The misery of hay fever – tips to try to ease the season

If you’re a hay fever sufferer, you might have greeted spring’s arrival with trepidation.

For some people, hay fever takes over their life. They check the daily pollen count and wonder if they’ll be able to get through an outdoor gathering. Itchy eyes, runny nose, and sneezing… if you haven’t experienced hay fever, it’s hard to understand how miserable it can make you feel.

A longer season
The problem is that the ‘season’ is getting longer and it’s not about grass pollen either. In autumn, for example, some react to mould spores from decomposing leaves. As the climate gets warmer, new plant species are now arriving in the UK, such as ragweed. This is a strong allergenic which produces pollen in vast quantities. The ragweed season peaks in the early autumn and does not decline until November. If you had years without any signs of hay fever, but are now overwhelmed, new plant species could be why.

Over-the-counter antihistamines can help, but there is no guarantee. Sometimes, a medication that once controlled all your symptoms, stops working. Or they can make you feel ‘stuffy’, drowsy, or leave you with an uncomfortable dry mouth. Dry mouth can increase the likelihood of cavities, gum disease and bad breath. If you do take antihistamines, you likely had to experiment until you found a brand that suited you best.

Help yourself to feel better
Practical tips include staying hydrated, to combat the drying effect of decongestants. Drinking plenty of water will rinse the oral cavity. Ensure your dental hygiene routine is correct and thorough, for the same reason. Shower and wash your hair when you get home, to remove optimal pollen. Dry your clothes inside and consider buying a special filter for your vacuum cleaner. Wiping surfaces can remove tiny deposits. Some people swear by petroleum jelly over the nostrils, to create a barrier. Other products to buy over-the-counter claim to do the same job. If management is not working, or if quality of life is being affected, contact your GP.

Keep a diary of your symptoms, to try and keep ahead of the game and anticipate when hay fever could strike. It may be trial and error, but you could find the recipe for a more comfortable spring, summer and beyond.

I came to Evolve as a nervous patient after years of hating going to the dentist because of the pain and discomfort I would experience every time. Richard changed all of that.He is personable, courteous and kind, and never too busy to take the time to talk things through in as much detail as I want. I’ve learnt so much about my personal dental health from him - things that no dentist has ever pointed out to me before.The treatments I’ve had with Richard have been completely pain free and my nerves about going to the dentist have now disappeared. The whole experience of going to Evolve is fantastic, from as soon as you step in the door. The reception staff and treatment coordinators are always lovely.I’m so glad I chose Evolve and would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a new dentist.

Teresa Neville

I went into surgery after an accident and the lady on reception was so kind and booked me to be seen very quickly by Dr Ford, my mouth was very swollen and painful but he was so gentle looking to see what had happened, treatment was explained and then time was made that day for it to get me out of pain.I was very nervous of my tooth being touched, but Dr Ford took such care and patience and made sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure and didn’t feel pain, he even then fashioned my tooth so it looked like nothing had happened!

Phil Body

I had a great experience at evolve, I was greeted with a wonderful warm welcome from Nicky C at the reception, their friendliness and hospitality set a positive tone for my visit. Richard provided exceptional attentiveness and thoroughness throughout the procedure. His professionalism and warm demeanour made me feel very comfortable and confident in the process.

19:42 29 Oct 25

I was an incredibly nervous patient & I can whole heartedly recommend Evolve for anyone who feels nervous. Once you’ve been to Evolve you understand why they have so many awards. I’ve been blown away by their understanding, patience and kindness. Richard, Maisie, Julie & Nicky are all amazing. But no matter who you deal with either on the phone, on reception or walking round the practice literally everyone smiles and is welcoming. My nervousness has reduced and having contacted them initially for some emergency treatment, I have a joined the practice and just feel relieved that I chose them.

I rather nervously came to Evolve several years ago having not visited a dentist in a very long time, with teeth and gums in a sorry state. Following an initial few sessions where I was able to request numbing, I eased into a consistent routine of check-ups and hygienist visits, resulting in teeth of which I am no longer ashamed. Visiting the dentist holds no trepidation for me now; the levels of care and treatment at Evolve are excellent, and the pleasant surroundings make the experience that little bit more comfortable.

it was wonderful to be welcomed with a smile, offered a chair and a drink. Everyone was professional and welcoming. My appointment was on time and another emailed to me. I can certainly recommend Evolve Dentistry, Portishead

I had dentures made at Evolve Dentistry in Portishead by Mike and his assistant Jess, and I honestly cannot thank them enough.Mike is truly special. He’s refreshingly honest and straight-talking – no sugar-coating, no false promises – just clear and direct about what he was going to do and what to expect. I found that honesty so reassuring. And then there’s Jess, who is warm, calming and so supportive throughout. Together they make the perfect team: Mike’s skill and precision, with Jess’s kindness and care. They really are phenomenal at what they do.The change has been incredible. I underestimated just how good the result would be. My new smile has given me a whole new sense of confidence. I’m 58, and I was so worried dentures would look obvious or make me look older – but it’s been the complete opposite. People kept saying I looked brighter, like I’d been on holiday, without realising it was my smile. They couldn’t tell at all that I had dentures, which is amazing.I deliberately waited before writing this review, to be sure it wasn’t just the excitement of something new. But even after time has passed, I’m still blown away. Yes, some foods feel a bit different (crisps, for example), but you adapt quickly, and the positives far outweigh any small changes.The whole process was painless – I never once needed a painkiller. My gums have healed beautifully, and in time I may need a small adjustment, but that’s all part of the journey.Most importantly, this has changed how I feel about myself. With my first grandchild on the way, I can’t wait to smile proudly in photos instead of hiding from the camera.From the receptionist who greeted me, to Julie my wellbeing person, and especially Mike and Jess – thank you for the phenomenal job you’ve done. You’ve not just given me new teeth, you’ve given me back my smile and my confidence.

I joined Evolve a couple of months ago and their customer service, treatment plan and the dentist they have assigned me to are absolutely brilliant. Plus the monthly plan I chose is affordable for myself and my family. When you walk into the surgery, you feel like you're in a 5 star hotel and you feel so welcome and comfortable. Thank you, Evolve.

I cannot praise Evolve Dentistry highly enough but with a few words I will try. From the moment I walked into the practice, meeting the front of house and consultation team, I knew I had made the right decision and I felt that I was in safe hands. Their dedication to customer care comes across as paramount. I was made to feel at ease, all my fears listened to and I truly felt, for the first time in my life, comfortable at a dentists! Mike Gregory, my dentist, in my humble opinion is a genius. It really was like trusting someone with your life, your future and I cannot thank you and your lovely team enough for making me feel part of the Evolve family and the excellent, exceptional results I received.This practice is more than 5+ star 🌟Highly recommended 👌

I highly recommend this dentist. They are so considerate and patient for those of us who are nervous dentist attenders. The whole team are kind and welcoming. I am currently starting a treatment with them and my dentist has been calm and has explained every step of the process for me.This has honestly been the best dentist that I have attended.

Brilliant team, polite, professional, proficient and give myself and my boys first class care. My eldest is also having his braces treatment with the team and I couldn't be happier. There is no other dentist for us!

Emma Yard

I cannot recommend Evolve enough. Having used them for both Invisalign and bonding treatments - they are efficient, professional, welcoming and person centred. The practitioners are highly experienced and bring their knowledge to tailor treatments to suit you. I have come away very happy indeed with my new smile!

Marta Tomaszewski

14:43 18 Apr 25

My mum's experience at Evolve Dentistry has been truly first-class. She did not think that she would be able to tolerate a full upper denture but Mike Gregory worked a miracle and she is extremely happy with her new denture. The whole team at Evolve is extremely friendly, professional and welcoming and if you are someone who is nervous about going to the dentist or has been told elsewhere that a certain treatment probably won't work for you, try Evolve Dentistry before you give up.

I have been with Evolve for quite a few years now, everytime I have visited it has always been a pleasant experience with excellent dental care.I wouldn’t go anywhere else, I trust them and that goes along way especially after bad experiences in the past. Keep up the great work guys

During lockdown my gums became very badly inflamed as I couldn't attend my 3 monthly hygienist appts...On movingbyo Portishead I signed on with Evolve who referred me to a private specialist Orthodontist.This meant a sustained period of specialist treatments to get the inflammation under control ..I am now on a maintenance programme & Evolve ultimately we're able to fit a porcelain crown to save a tooth that was in a poor condition. In effect they've given me my smile back.[ It's great that they have interest free loans too]The Team are pleasant, explain things clearly . I recently had my 6 months check up & so relieved to know I've come out the other side.Thank you !!

I hadn’t been to the dentist in 4 years, and had a fear of them, and then fell in the rain and knocked my bridge and 2 teeth out. I phoned in a panic, Nickie was lovely and calming on the phone. I saw dentist Carol that morning, who explained my options. I subsequently had 2 roots removed (absolutely no pain) and now have a new temporary bridge. Everyone, receptionist, dentist, hygienist , dental nurse was calm and gentle and worked at my pace. I am so lucky to have a fabulous team care for me. Thank you

My first visit on my journey. The whole experience from start to finish was so professional and laid back. At the end Iof the treatment i was waiting for my tooth to be extracted it was already out Great experience on to the next!!! 😁😁

Heard Phillip

22:34 13 Feb 25

It’s Debbie Heard from my husband’s Google account.I’ve recently had treatment with Evolve Dentistry. As a child I had poor teeth & gums so it’s always been a ‘thing’! I’ve been ashamed, embarrassed, always had tooth envy. I was told by a dentist at the age of 12 that I would be toothless before I was 30, I proved him wrong & had crowns & bridges fitted & managed to have teeth that looked aesthetically pleasing for a further 30 years. It all came to a head approximately 3 years ago when I had to wear a partial denture. To me it was the end of the world but I amazed myself & adjusted. In October 2024 I had the remainder of my upper teeth removed & had teeth added to my partial as a temporary measure. My current dentist who also is amazing referred me to Mike Gregory at Evolve as she assured me he would do a much better job than she could. My experience at Evolve was second to none from the get go. I met with Julie initially, one of the treatment co-ordinators. She explained how things would pan out over the next couple of months. Nicky on reception was so kind, she put me at ease immediately. Mike & his nurse Jess did exactly the same, I felt so comfortable with them all. My first appointments to the last which was yesterday 12th February were a pleasure, every single person who works at Evolve is amazing! They all go above & beyond. I am delighted with the final result, nobody would ever know I’m wearing a denture. I would recommend to anyone, you will not get better treatment anywhere. Thank you Evolve, you are awesome xxxx

Throughout my time with Evolve, the whole team have made me feel welcomed and comfortable, all while taking the best care of my teeth.I particularly liked their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring I was happy at every stage in my treatment plan.Special thanks to Maggie who has worked hard and patiently spent time improving my smile.I’d highly recommend a visit to Evolve if you’re looking for a smile makeover or for general dentistry.

Thank you for the big relief I felt for helping me out with an emergency appointment on the same day that I called and that was on a Friday! I was very impressed with that kind of service! The staff is always helpful and kind. I went in feeling rather depressed but after the dentist visit I left with the feeling it was all going to be alright. And it did, thank you so much, Evolve.

I dont think that is enough room in this text box to express how I feel about my whole experience at Evolve.I travel about 340 mile round trip, 8 hours in the car! to come to Evolve and it is so worth it.From booking experience to welcome team and atmosphere/ambience. The treatment I receive from all staff including both Carol (Dentistry)and Emma (my hygienist) is friendly professional and exemplary. I can highly recommend Evole Practice.

Debbie H

I have been attending Evolve Dentistry for a couple of years and right from day one I have been very impressed with the practice. All the staff are very pleasant and friendly and provide an excellent service.

They are highly professional and provide an excellent service.

Carole & her team are absolutely amazing, the care and treatment is superb.I am terrified of dentistry work from many bad experiences when I was younger from other dentists.To get me to go to the Dentist fills me with so much anxiety & panic attacks but the moment I go through the doors Carole’s team reassure and make you comfortable.My treatments are done with sedation by Carol carrying out the treatment whilst giving lovely calming care. The sedation process is great and you have nothing to worry about Thank you Carole & The Team x

Geoffrey Bates

I was treated with courtesy and friendliness by all the staff , and as a new guest, I felt welcome.Every part of the treatment was fully explained and my comfort was utmost in the mind of Dr Yasmin Zeina during and after the procedure. A follow up call the next day, to check all was well, was also appreciated.

David Bufton

17:45 29 Sep 24

Evolve came recommended and didn’t disappoint, Yasmin and Mike are both at the top end the of game and absolute perfectionists! not to forget there support team who where always friendly and helpful, the reception knew I wanted my treatment completed asap and always called when there was opportunity to move appointments forward. I arrived at evolve with missing teeth, a mouth full of black fillings and a nhs denture that I couldn’t get on with, so I just never wore. I just wanted my old smile back. from day one I’ve been given multiple options to suit my budget and never pushed any given way, I now have better teeth than before! Yasmin remodelled my front teeth and replaced my fillings while Mike made my denture which I hardly know is there and could eat and drink with straight away, the team really invested in helping me and I’m truly grateful, I would highly recommend

Louise Cains

Sue James

12:43 29 Aug 24

This dentist really cares about people who have a fear of them, they have always treated me with the empathy and the care I needed to put me at my ease and have given me the confidence that I can trust them 100% so I can fulfil my treatment without fear. I have tried other dentists before and never went back because I wasn't happy and more scared than ever. So i really am a nervous patient. Yet ive had dentures from them and teeth extracted with sedation and felt safe and not terrified as i trust them with everything that they told me. Every member of staff is caring and aware of your needs and do their best to make you feel safe and confident. Carol is amazing and for the years I have been there it was a decision that really gave me my confidence back and a dentist that I turn to when I need work done. I would never go anywhere else as I feel grateful I'm one of their patients.

Chelle Hughes

18:16 15 Aug 24

Evolve have been looking after my teeth for many years. They are always extremely professional, very welcoming, and give excellent advice and treatments.

Jim Limerick

I’ve been with evolve for at least 10 years if not longer. They make me feel safe and they listen to my needs and requests. They have always done good work and if anything hasn’t been quite right they have rectified it immediately. I think the greatest testament to their services is that I travel 2h from Surrey to see them.

Liz Ward

I travel Two hours to attend my appointment here to have all of the amalgams taken out. 12 teeth in all. Two for each appointment. Its worth it. I wouldn't go anywhere else. I have had a fear of dentists all my life but had to take a chance with this particular treatment because of my condition. It's specialized as safety measures have to be in place.There was no need to worry at all. I was made to feel so relaxed and the treatment never hurt one tiny bit. If you fear this particular treatment,go to Evolve. You will not be disappointed 😊 My teeth look and feel fantastic. Thank you. Marie Yeo.

16:45 18 Jun 24

I recently visited Evolve for braces, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From the moment I walked in, the team welcomed me and made me feel right at home.The staff at Evolve are not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable. They took the time to explain everything I needed to know about taking care of my braces, ensuring I felt confident and informed. Their dedication to patient care truly stood out and made a big difference in my overall comfort.If you're looking for a dentist that combines excellent customer service with a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend Evolve. They’ve made my journey with braces a positive one, and I’m grateful for everything they’ve done. Thank you!

I was cautious attending my first appointment, I'd had historical issues with a dentist from another practice in the past. I needn't of worried, I was truly looked after from the moment I arrived and was thoughtfully consulted with before the initial examination and a clear and easy to comprehend treatment plan proposal shared. The service and care are exceptional and I highly recommend this practice!

Emily Perrott

Emma Lowe

11:26 06 Mar 24

I work at Evolve so I know it’s an amazing place. However, I had toothache and I have had to have a tooth out today. Not something I have any experience of and I was so nervous. Carol is an expert at pain free treatment and looked after me so well. Teeth can be tricky and she removed it effortlessly. Everyone was so kind and supportive. Can’t thank them enough.

Yasmin, Julie and the team were absolutely brilliant. I am so pleased with the results of my Invisalign treatment. I would highly recommend Evolve Dentistry!

After a lifetime of wonky teeth I decided to get them straightened and went to Evolve for a consultation. From the moment I walked in the door I felt I was in safe hands. Julie firstly discussed with me the 2 options for teeth straightening - Invisalign or ceramic fixed brace. I then had a consultation with Carol who discussed the options with me further. I never felt rushed or under any pressure to chose a specific one, if in fact any. I have chosen to go with Ceramic Fixed braces and it will take roughly 9 - 12 months. I am currently 3 months in and already friends and family are amazed at the difference. Most people cannot actually see the braces when I am smiling or speaking, but my teeth are already so much straighter. Evolve continue to support my journey and I am so happy I researched reputable Dentists and found the Team at Evolve. Everyone there is so happy and professional, you can tell it is a good place to work. I feel safe, heard, and my hopes for a beautiful smile are understood by the whole team. I don't believe anyone would regret going to Evolve, but you very well might regret NOT going :o)

I came to visit Carol for amalgam extractions and I was pleased with the safety protocols used to remove the mercury. The filings were replaced without issue and pain free. I then had Invisalign to straighten my teeth and I am delighted with the results. The whole team are wonderful and customer centric. I highly recommend.

Always a great experience at Evolve. Have been a patient for a number of years and took the plunge on some aligners. Experience start to ‘so far’ has been faultless. Looking forward to the results in 6 months (or so) time.

Such friendly staff! I used to feel apprehensive visiting the dentist, but both the dentist and hygienist make me feel at ease, and since going here I’ve felt absolutely fine every time. The place is kept spotless, and the chairs are very comfortable!

Evolve has been my Dentist since 2012, the team has remained the friendly practice with continual commitment to my needs since the beginning.The little things matter and make for the experience each and every time a pleasure instead of a chore.By the way the dental chair is so comfortable I have on occasion drifted off! I should also mention that’s due to gentle methods when performing treatment.

I was absolutely petrified to go to the dentist due to childhood experiences/trauma many years ago. It took some courage walking through the doors of Evolve Dentistry, however I needn’t had worried as the staff from the Reception Ladies, Julie in the office, the hygienists and a special mention for my dentist Yasmin were all super friendly, put me at ease with their patience and understanding, talked through all my worries and didn’t push for me to have anything done until I was feeling ready. I’ve now had a few procedures the most recent being composite bonding which I am absolutely thrilled with, along with healthy oral hygiene I can finally smile again without feeling embarrassed about my teeth. Have a review booked and am at the stage now I trust them so much I can actually look forward to my on going appointments. Thank you all Evolve team

Always a great experience at Evolve, polite, professional and friendly staff who go that extra mile. Very thoughtful touches such as a jigsaw in reception to help anxious patients and sending me flowers to celebrate a special occasion. Amazing customer service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Superb experience with Evolve Dentistry. Following a fall they were quick to respond and fit me in at short notice and repair my teeth. Comforting and knowledgeable across the whole Evolve team. A dentist for life!

So so happy with the treatment we received from Dr Mike Gregory. He was so gentle and calm with my 80 year old mother. He made the perfect set of dentures for her which fit like a glove! She was over the moon! And all receptionists and nurses were so welcoming too!Well worth the 200 mile drive from London!Thank you 😊

Visited Evolve after a recommendation. Had an initial consultation chat and then a full check up and xrays with Yasmin. We discussed the results of my check up and also what I wanted from my smile. That's something that was never discussed with my previous dentist.I took the monthly plan offered and came away with costings for other work I wanted done.I'm just gutted I left it so late to find such a wonderful and welcoming practice. All the staff are so friendly and take the time to explain everything from treatment to payment and plans.Thoroughly recommend

This was a big decision and investment for me but I could not be happier with the results! Carol and the Evolve team have been extremely helpful, professional and caring during my treatment and after.I could not recommend Evolve and fixed braces enough for amazing results and a smile I am now definitely proud of. Thank you Carol, it's been like changing.

Always extremely professional and thorough. Booking is very efficient and never an issue if you need to change an appointment. All procedures are explained thoroughly and there is never any pressure to have unnecessary procedures. My dental crown and mouth guard have been completed perfectly and the modern technology is amazing. I had zero pain during the dental crown procedure. All round an excellent practice. 👍

Yasmin & team are incredible. I felt thoroughly informed about my dental procedures before and during the treatment. They’re all so friendly and professional. Every penny I have spent has been worth it, I was and am treated with empathy, respect and kindness. The quality of their work and attention to detail is fantastic.

The membership is quite good. It keeps me in a 6month review cycle and when I leave I always have my next appointment booked. This way I don’t forget. Brilliant! Besides, excellent staff. Thanks to the Evolve Team
