Data was collected by using structured questionnaire which consists of questions related to socio-demographic information and questions related to knowledge regarding oral hygiene. All the collected data were analyzed by using SPSS version 20 and interpreted in the form of frequency, mean, percentage, standard deviation. Pre-test and Post-test mean scores were compared by using inferential statistics i.e, paired test. This study revealed that majority (40.2%) of the respondents were of age 13 years with mean age 12.95, SD+- 1.075. Similarly more than half (55.9%) of the respondents were female. Furthermore, this study finding showed that pre-test knowledge mean score was 13.33 and post-test knowledge mean score was 27.98 with t-test value 29.45.
