Need some potty training guidance.

Hi everyone! I feel like we should start potty training but our son is showing no interest. We bring him to the bathroom with us so he can see what we are doing and we bought him his own tiny toilet but he doesn’t seem to care about the bathroom at all. Does anyone have any advice?

Anyone have some knowledge on tooth abscess?

My son is 9 years old and has a tooth abscess, I took him to the dentist and the dentist only prescribed antibiotics and said to just “watch it” until it bothers him more/gets worse.
