There is such an incredible amount to learn in that first year as a parent even when your baby is healthy, it gets just that much harder when he or she is not well. This can be very daunting for first time parents, as this may well be one of the first times they have seen their child upset and uncomfortable is when teething starts.

These are closely followed by another two incisor teeth (B’s) on the bottom and the middle upper incisor teeth (A’s). Eventually a total of five teeth in each quarter of the mouth will erupt, which, when they are...

Bad Breath Treatment The first, and often the hardest step for many people in getting treatment for your bad breath is actually just booking the appointment. Once you’re booked in you just need to remember - for an accurate reading you mustn’t eat, drink or smoke (or chew chewing gum) for 4 hours before the appointment. Water is okay to have up until 1 hour before your appointment. A simple way round this is booking an appointment late in the morning or afternoon and having breakfast or lunch at the normal time. If you eat, drink or smoke (other than water) in the 4 hours preceding the test, it is not worth doing as we can’t trust the results. When you come in we will ask you to fill in a Questionnaire which can help us in the diagnosis of your problem. The Breath Test is very simple and...
