About 14,000 students from various city schools brushed their teeth together at Nehru stadium here to enter the Guinness Book of World Records.
“As many as 75 schools participated in the programme organised to make school children aware about the importance of dental care,” said Dr Rangarajan, Secretary of Indian Dental Association, which organised the event.
The attempt also sought to beat the previous world record of brushing in a group set by some 10,000 people in Manila, he said.
