The arrival of a baby's first tooth is a big milestone, and for many parents, it's both exciting and a little daunting. Teething can be a difficult period – not just for little ones but for tired parents and carers too.   At mydentist, we know how important it is to support families through every stage of their dental journey, starting from day one. So, if you've been wondering “when do babies start teething?”, we've got the answers you need.  

World Health Day is celebrated annually on 7th April, each year we take the opportunity to raise awareness and increase education on a different theme. The theme for World Health Day 2025 is healthy beginnings, hopeful futures and will be a yearlong campaign focusing on maternal and newborn health.  

At mydentist, we're dedicated to staying at the forefront of modern dentistry, ensuring our professionals are equipped with the latest tools and knowledge to provide exceptional care. As part of our ongoing commitment to innovation, we continuously support dental practices embracing new technologies.   In this episode of Know the Drill, Dale Flanagan, Neil Simpkin and Jess Patel Barnes share how they’re helping practices transition to digital dentistry with the adoption of intraoral scanners. 

World Oral Health Day, marked annually on 20th March 2025, raises awareness to oral health being a key indicator of overall health, well-being and quality of life. Oral diseases are among the most common noncommunicable diseases worldwide, affecting an estimated 3.5 billion people. This year we partnered with Tempdent to raise awareness about children's oral health for World Oral Health Day - and what we as dental professionals, can do to support the parents and carers of children in helping their families develop good oral health routines for life.

At mydentist, we’ve launched our new limited series Know the Drill – designed to offer insight, guidance and peer-to-peer support for dental professionals across the UK – Know the Drill is a podcast for clinicians, created  with clinicians.   Featuring four episodes, Know the Drill brings together expert voices from within the mydentist Clinical Network, offering practical advice on mentorship, digital dentistry, professional development, wellbeing and more.

At mydentist, we know that professional growth doesn’t happen in isolation. It takes guidance, experience and a supportive network to help dental professionals develop their skills and confidence. That’s why our mentorship programme is at the heart of what we do, offering dentists the structure and encouragement they need to take the next step in their careers.
