To ensure correct delivery of the message, baseline data of their beliefs is important. To assess the attitude and beliefs of some Nigerian TBAs to prematurely erupted teeth in infants, a total enumeration of the TBAs in the five urban Local Government Areas in Ibadan was conducted and 163 consenting TBAs were recruited using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. The attitude of the TBAs was that of fear and shock (35.6%) while 30 (18.4%) will consider the child weird. Perceived causes of the variation include evil spirits (31.9%), contravening cultural taboos (9.2%), and prolonged gestation (4.9%). Beliefs on the effect of natal\/neonatal teeth on the child include strange behavior (31.3%), child developing evil spiritual powers (41.1%), and mental retardation (3.1%). Practices included advising parents to get rid of\/or hide the child (4.9%) and immediate extraction of the teeth with\/without sacrifices (35.6%). There is an urgent need to address knowledge gaps by giving health education to TBAs. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2190\/iq.32.4.g","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,2]],"date-time":"2013-02-02T02:03:39Z","timestamp":1359770619000},"page":"355-366","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Attitude and Beliefs of Traditional Birth Attendants to Prematurely Erupted Teeth of Infants in Urban Local Government Areas in Ibadan, Nigeria"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Olubunmi","family":"Bankole","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Ibadan, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juliana","family":"Taiwo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Ibadan, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Olukemi","family":"Nasiru","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-IQ.32.4.g","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0528.1981.tb00338.x"},{"key":"bibr2-IQ.32.4.g","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0528.1982.tb00370.x"},{"key":"bibr3-IQ.32.4.g","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0528.1984.tb01451.x"},{"key":"bibr4-IQ.32.4.g","first-page":"173","volume":"23","author":"Uzamis M.","year":"1999","journal-title":"Journal of Clinical Paediatric Dentistry"},{"key":"bibr5-IQ.32.4.g","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5005\/jcdp-4-3-65"},{"key":"bibr6-IQ.32.4.g","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3476(50)80105-1"},{"key":"bibr7-IQ.32.4.g","first-page":"894","volume":"116","author":"Baumgart M.","year":"2006","journal-title":"Schweiz Monatsschr Zahmed"},{"key":"bibr8-IQ.32.4.g","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0030-4220(66)90281-7"},{"key":"bibr9-IQ.32.4.g","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.14219\/jada.archive.1984.0415"},{"key":"bibr10-IQ.32.4.g","first-page":"249","volume":"140","author":"Leung A.
