The mean DMFT index was 3.64. Tooth brushing, smoking, fissure sealants, anxiety, sugary snack and fluoride varnish therapy should be considered. Therefore, it is necessary to implement programmes to improve oral health in adolescents, such as daily teeth brushing, not smoking, performing fissure sealants and fluoride varnish at a younger age, and teaching anxiety coping skills.
