Brief summary
The aim of this study is to identify the knowledge and behavior on dental health and hygiene among adolescents. In most cases, the investigators know tooth decay can be prevented and reversed at an early stage by observing good oral hygiene. Few studies have been done among adolescents. This study could justify the implementation of public health actions in terms of prevention.
