A KENDAL dental surgery will be taking part in National Smile Month by hosting a 'brushathon'.

The idea is to get as many people as possible to brush their teeth at the same time for two minutes to promote good oral health.

Dr Neil Cooper, from Crossbank Dental Care, said: "We love taking part in National Smile Month, as usual throughout the month we will be wearing our bright pink scrubs. This is always good for making our patients smile."

Crossbank Dental Care will be holding the Brushathon at 1.15pm on June 8.
