The earlier such record of 13800 people was created in El Salvador, South America in 1995. “We had a total of twenty schools that participated in the event out of which six were Government schools, Sarjapur area, Bangalore and fourteen others were Private Schools. We also had the opportunity to host forty Autistic children and a hundred and sixty children were from Sai Brindavan School for deaf and dumb. It was a huge responsibility for us as organizers to ensure that the children were at all times safe and taken care of. Thanks to an organized team effort we were able to pull it off

The Brush right Smile Bright campaign conceptualized by My Dental Plan healthcare Pvt.

BRUSH RIGHT SMILE BRIGHT
As the name suggests, inculcating simple hygiene habits in children will go a long way in preserving their smiles for a long period. Generally the misconception among parents even in the urban well educated lot is that milk teeth do not require treatment and care as it is going to shed. The major part of physical growth and psychological development happens during these growing years.

Dental treatment and care during these formative years is of utmost importance to give the child a healthy future.

The Guinness record was a means to bring the issues of awareness among parents and also to teach children the importance of brushing correctly.

It was highly gratifying to see this large activity with 17000 children, 1000 doctors and 1000 teachers as coordinators. We are highly indebted to the Management of Delhi Public School managed by KKECT for partnering with us for this social venture.

“The Event was organized to bring about awareness of preventive dental care and simple steps such as brushing twice a day can prevent majority of dental problems. Bringing the awareness of visiting a dentist every six months and getting professional cleaning done as recommended by WHO will help in keeping their teeth for lifetime. These good values need to be inculcated in children very early in their childhood and reinforced by parents at home and teachers in school”

“Oral health among children has always been a concern in India. It is evident from oral health statistics of our country that there is a lack of awareness among parents about dental health at large and added to that our careless attitude towards health. With the Brush Right Campaign we wanted to sensitize everyone concerned about the importance of oral health. And we believe that children make one of the best messengers.”
