Objectives: To determine the influence of the general characteristics and health behaviors of adolescents on tooth-brushing frequency. Methods: The SPSS program(ver.21.0:IBM Corp.) was used to analyze the frequency of general characteristics, subjective health perception, and oral health behaviors, as well as to investigate the effects of subjective health perception, stress, and GAD-7 on tooth-brushing frequency, using a multiple regression analysis. Results: Of the respondents, 81.3% brushed their teeth more than twice the previous day. Significant differences in toothbrushing frequency were observed among those with better subjective health, thinner body types, lower stress levels, and lower GAD-7 scores. Conclusions: Subjective health awareness and behavior, including mental health, affect an individual's oral health behavior, such as tooth-brushing frequency. Therefore, strategies that consider physical, mental, and psychological factors should be developed to promote oral health.
