Nigeria, earlier on Thursday, set a new world record for toothbrushing.
300,000 pupils representing more than 600 public schools in Lagos have made history by simultaneously brushing their teeth for 60 seconds across different locations in the state.
India held the previous record; achieving the feat with 177,003 pupils in 2007.
The new Guiness Book of Records entry began at exactly 2:15pm earlier today after Dr. Lawal Bakare, the founder of HEIT Solutions, and the convener of the Tooth Brushing Challenge Project, had certified that each of the participants has a tooth brush and toothpaste provided by Unilever Nigeria Limited, one of the event sponsors at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere.
Great blog here! Also your website loads up fast! What host

The message is promoting oral/dental health in the country starting from the younger generation so that by the time they are adults like you and I, sum of their teeth would not have been pulled out.
Also, teaching them the appropriate way to brush and the relevance of a dentist to every day dental health.
Now they know what causes what and how it can be taken care of! it goes beyond taking panadol when you have toothache!
