Abstract. Questionnaires concerning oral hygiene, dental problems, eating behaviors, everyday memory and attention, conscientiousness, anxiety, exercise, and diet quality were administered to 100 participants. Perceived condition of one’s teeth was related to oral problems more so than oral hygiene. Further, condition of teeth was related to everyday attention but not memory.
