Face 
Dentistry 
We have a new front of house team member here at Evolve Dentistry in Portishead! Teresa has worked with us in the past, left to develop her career and is now back with a raft of experience under her belt. We’re really happy to have her smiling face and caring manner back in our practice and we thought we’d introduce you to her in her own words…
“I’m really pleased to be back working at Evolve Dentistry because it is friendly and welcoming with plenty of state-of-the art equipment. I’ve spent some time working in high-end dental practices and clinics who carry out smile makeovers and work to very high standards, many of these were award winners so I’ve brought that experience back to Evolve with me.
I find Evolve an exciting place to work because the team like to use the latest techniques, developments and equipment. I love working at here because I am representing dentists and clinicians who provide a really high level of dentistry, which makes me feel very proud within my role.
I also love meeting patients and getting to understand their individual concerns and needs. My priority is making the patient journey in our practice a pleasant one at every stage and I do that by providing the level of support that is required. I really enjoy the patient-facing aspect of my role and I’m very experienced in dealing with patients who suffer from dental fear. My advice to anyone who is nervous about visiting the dentist is to take the plunge and call us. The whole team here at Evolve are really friendly and we’ll go out of our way to make you feel safe and comfortable in our practice. I advise coming in to have a look around and meeting the team in your own time too, this can help to ease nerves by finding familiarity with the dental practice, which makes it a much less scary place to visit. We’re more than happy to accommodate this if you feel it would help, so pick up the phone and have a chat with us!
In my spare time I’m a member of walking groups and we like to take in the fresh air over the Brecon Beacons at the weekends. I have to admit that I also enjoy good wine and food; with my daughter currently living and working as a teacher in Vietnam that has provided me with lots of cooking (and eating!) inspiration. She’s been out there with her husband for four years and I’ve been lucky enough to visit a few times and travel around parts of Asia, benefiting from her knowledge and experience as my personal tour guide!
I also love to read; my Kindle is my best friend. I’ve just enjoyed The Girl On The Train because it had a great twist at the end. I’m a big fan of arts and culture and really enjoy seeing plays and attending the theatre. I’ve recently been to see Motown: The Musical in London, and of course I couldn’t resist seeing a pantomine over the Christmas period!”
If you find the thought of visiting the dentist a terrifying prospect, you’re not alone. This is a very common fear and, as Teresa says, it’s something we’re very experienced in helping patients with here at Evolve Dentistry. Take the first step and call our reception team on 01275 842 550 for a friendly chat about the ways in which we could make dentistry a pleasant experience for you.

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.
