Imagine 300,000 People Brushing their Teeth Simultaneously? To make history in Guinness Book of Record for Teeth Brushing, Lagos State Government targets that!!

The State government yesterday announced its plan to compete in the Lagos World Record Tooth Brushing Challenge in December. Over 300, 000 persons will simultaneously brush their teeth with the aim of creating a new Guinness Book of Records in tooth brushing!

To achieve the feat, no fewer than 300,000 pupils from 300 public schools will brush their teeth at different locations simultaneously at a competition which is to hold on December 5, 2012.

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Public Health, Dr. Yewande Adeshina, disclosed this at a world press conference held yesterday to commemorate the World Oral Day.

The theme of the challenge is “Don’t wait: address your future now,” and is aimed at enlightening people on the importance of proper oral hygiene.

The 300,000 students are set to beat the current record of 177,003 set by India in 2007.

“At exactly 12 noon on December 5, we hope to lead over 300,000 adolescents in brushing their teeth at multiple locations for a single, glorious minute,” Mr. Bakare Lawal, a dentist told The Nation.

This sounds really interesting. I’m sure it would be fun for the participating students.

This is real market for tooth brush and tooth paste sellers.......... or what do you think??
