Abstract

This paper explores the beliefs of a rural population in the Sudan in relation to the causes of oral diseases and their attitudes towards traditional healers and treatments. Qualitative methods, using ethnography and narrative, explored people’s experiences. The study identifies conflicting narratives concerning oral health with coherent cultural beliefs and attitudes appearing to underpin oral health related behaviours.
