On the Dadsnet Show, Joe Wicks and Minister James Frith discuss children’s oral health and the statistic that over 21,000 UK hospital admissions each year for five- to nine-year-olds are due to tooth decay, the biggest cause of admissions for that age group. They explore how preventable decay is through brushing twice a day for two minutes, reducing sugary and sticky snacks, and drinking more water, while acknowledging how stressful routines can be for parents. Joe shares practical tactics like role-modelling, making brushing fun, and supervising because kids often rush or pretend. James outlines a holistic approach: supervised toothbrushing in primary schools (including kits to take home), efforts to improve access to NHS dentists, and focusing support in deprived “dental desert” areas, noting 3 million more appointments and over 80% of seekers getting an appointment.

Al talks with Mercedes (Mumlifewithmercedes) about how she went from struggling to afford heating and borrowing money to feed her family to documenting her journey into better financial control. She explains starting with 30 days of tracking spending to find “money leaks,” then transforming budgeting by splitting income into categories using bank “pots” (keeping bills separate from spending). They discuss supermarket strategies like meal planning, shopping from cupboards, avoiding top-up shops, using own-brand basics where it makes sense, and leveraging Tesco Clubcard points, cashback apps, and TopCashback. Mercedes shares rotating TV subscriptions, buying school uniform and kids’ items secondhand via Vinted and school swap shops, saving on baby essentials by avoiding unnecessary purchases, and cutting energy costs with tariff reviews, smart meters, and using an air fryer.
