Dentistry During your healthy mouth review, we will carry out a full clinical healthy mouth review of your oral health including:
Our team is very experienced in helping nervous patients. We often find that just discussing any concerns can hugely help our patients reduce their dental anxiety. We will take our time to reassure you at every stage of your appointment and ensure that you understand what is going on and what to expect. If necessary, sedation is a wonderful way of enabling treatment for those people who may otherwise avoid it. We also offer hypno-relaxation for those who want to try a more natural approach. Our focus is to support you in achieving the outcome that you want.
Want to know more about how to look after your teeth properly? Read our guide here.
We take dental radiographs (x-rays) to show us what we can’t see in the mouth. We are mainly looking for decay, bone loss or infection, but they are also taken prior to braces being worn to check the length of the roots or the position of any un-erupted teeth or wisdom teeth.
You don’t need to have photos taken but taking photos during a full assessment can be very useful as they can capture details that might not be visible on the day of the clinical assessment and keep a record of your progress through treatment. They are also very useful when communicating with other clinicians.
RCT stands for root canal treatment. This is recommended when the nerve of the tooth has died off and become infected with a dental abscess. When this occurs, the only options are to have RCT or an extraction, if you want to keep your teeth, then you would need root canal treatment.
A root filling is not dangerous. A lot of people are worried about root canal treatment due to what they have read or heard. It is important that all the infection is removed when having a root filling carried out so the experience and skill of the person doing the treatment is very important. You can choose to see a specialist for this treatment, a dentist who specialises in root canal treatment is called an endodontist.
If it is anticipated that you may have pain after treatment, such as an extraction, your dentist should give you advice on what painkillers you can take. It is important not to take more than the stated dose on the packet. If your pain is unexpected or uncontrollable, you should contact your dental practice.
We do not offer implants at Evolve but refer to some excellent colleagues either in Weston super Mare or Bristol. We do offer other tooth replacement options.
It is very likely that over the course of your lifespan that your dental treatment will fail. There is no material or treatment that is guaranteed to last a lifetime. However, if your treatment fails within the guarantee period offered by your practice, then contact your dental practice and ask to be reviewed.
Teeth become sensitive when the dentine or nerve of the tooth is exposed. Normally, teeth are covered with enamel which protects the teeth from damage. If the enamel is lost through decay or wear, then the exposed dentine will be sensitive. Do not ignore sensitive teeth, see your dentist to find out why your teeth are sensitive and follow any advice given.
You are always welcome to bring someone with you to your appointment if you need the support. Generally though, bringing younger children that require your attention is not a good idea as it can be very distracting for everyone.
You are usually able to eat and drink after treatment but if you are numb, you should be careful not to bite or burn yourself. If you have had a tooth extracted, then you may be advised to avoid eating on that side of your mouth for 2-3 days.
Please do not glue your tooth back. Generally this question refers to crowns or denture teeth and whilst it is tempting to reglue your tooth, the glue can make it difficult to properly recement or fix your tooth as it affects the materials that we use.

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.
