Smashing World Records!

These past few months have been extremely busy with adults and children creating two new milestones for the teeth-care and dentistry industry! On June 25th, Colgate, along with many teeth-conscious consumers, broke the world record for “most people using mouthwash simultaneously.” 

According to the World Record Academy, at approximately 12:30 pm, TV host Stacy Keibler, as well as 1,142 consumers, cleansed with Colgate Total Advanced Pro Shield Mouthwash at the exact same time.  Colgate supported the Make-a-Wish foundation by “swishing for a difference” and donating one dollar to the foundation for every participant in the audience!

But, that’s not all! Recently, Nigeria was added to the Guinness Book of World Records by setting the new record for “most people brushing their teeth at the same time.” The record was broken by over 300,000 school children, gathering simultaneously at hundreds of locations throughout the city. Dr Olurotimi Olojede, president of the Nigerian Dental Association, said the goal of the event was to teach kids the importance of good oral hygiene habits. One wise participant noted the importance of the event for dental care in her country by saying that in addition to having an amazing experience, she “thinks this is history.”
