Throughout the Determinants of Health Behavior course (HLTH 2400), I completed a literature review on Proper Oral Hygiene Habits in Adults and Children in the United States. To further understand this topic, we looked at intrapersonal, interpersonal, organizational, environmental, community, and policy factors, in addition to health behavior theories associated with oral health habits among children and adults.  This was one of the most interesting assignments that I completed as it was the first assignment that I was able to put the health concepts I learned in various classes into real-life practice.
