Hello, is there any dental practice taking NHS patients at the moment? Thanks

Any tips on getting my little one to stop holding her poo in. Its making her so miserable :( (and me tbh). Im giving lactulose, high fibre foods and ive tried prunes but she will use every oz of strength she has to hold it in. Weve been potty training nearly 2 weeks now and we have wees sorted down to a t, shes so g...

Hi all. Has anyone registered their child with a dentist yet? I looked into signing my little up at the practice that I go to, but they said they don't take NHS patients and my little one would have to go private, which looks so expensive. Is this normal for all dentists or should I be able to find a practice that p...

How do you know if your little one is ready? Mine has no issue with wearing a dirty nappy, she will occasionally say “done a poo” and will happily get changed if I asked her. She doesn’t hide away to poo. She won’t actually sit on her potty at all. I don’t think she is ready and tbh I’m maybe putting it off cos I do...

How long did it take to potty train your almost 3 year old?

Not sure if i should start potty training my 16 month old. I have a potty chair sitting out where hes able to get to it. Anytime hes in the middle of eatting he will get up and go sit on the potty. He only goes poop. But when hes done he will get up and come over to me. Almost like hes telling me hes done going potty.

Is anyone else in the same boat as me? My LG still hasn’t got any teeth. I can see 2 bumps on her bottom gum but no sign that they’re surfacing yet 😂 I’m not worried, just want to know if it’s just me.

When are LOs supposed to go to the dentist?

I need some advice on potty training my 2 year old she has literally taken her own diaper off and used the potty . But she refuses to use it now . She doesn’t like sitting on the potty any advice on how to get her potty trained

My 3-year-old is in early childhood education so we started potty training and he is sent to school in underwear. He goes to the bathroom and pees but he refuses to poop in the toilet and would hold it until he comes home from school and I put a diaper On. It comes to the point he constipated himself. He refuses to ...

Please someone help me because this is driving me CRAZY!!! So we are potty training, going no diaper. Sometimes when my toddler has an accident (specifically when she pees on the floor) she will get down and slurp it up or at least try to before I can stop her. It is literally making me insane and stressing me out w...

Anyone’s little one show no interest in the potty or toilet? We have been trying to encourage going for wees and poos on the potty however she shows no interest and just stands up and wees on the floor. I’m not going to push her but I hear so many people saying ‘my child was potty trained at 18 months’ and I keep th...

I was wondering when people started toilet training? I have started putting my 11month old, she will be one in 4 days, on the toilet before a bath JUST to familiarise her with the toilet (not to get her to wee or poo) and she did her first wee on the toilet this evening. We aren’t planning to toilet train until summ...

9 months old and no sign of teeth with lots of teething here and there since ages. Anyone else in same boat? Wondering if this could be sign of some deficiency?

Hiya, My 17 month old boy has recently started refusing to have his teeth brushed and I’m at my wits end with what to do, especially as he has a lot of teeth now! Have tried everything from making it fun with songs, changing brushes, watching fun videos about it but he is point blank refusing and throws a huge tan...
