Dear author,
I would like to put following suggestions.
There are many syntax errors.
sample size is not calculated.
Mean and standard deviation cannot be calculated for this type of data.
The results are not summarized according to the objectives. There is no clear differentiation between knowledge, attitude and practices.
All the references are not in superscript.
According to table on " Treatment done during last visit ",patient has undergone only one treatment.but practically it is not true.

The study addresses an important area of public health dentistry in Nepal. There is a definite paucity of information about oral health knowledge, attitude and behavior among individuals in Nepal. Besides, it targets an important age group that is vulnerable to oral diseases, school children aged 13-18 yrs. The reviewer indicates few areas which would enhance the overall value of the manuscript.
Overall, there are many syntax errors in the manuscript. The authors can get their manuscript revised by any individual whose first language is English or who is proficient in English language.
