Abstract
Indians reside in rural areas. Ancient Indian taboos and ideologies have a negative correlation with preventative dental health behaviours; the goal of this study was to identify the current frequency of these beliefs and cultural taboos around dentistry. The taboos and myths related to dental extraction were considered. 33% believe that eye sight will be affected while 53% believed that extracted teeth should be buried. 66% considered that extraction should be done only when tooth is shaking and around 59% considered placement of medicaments like zandu balm or vicks to relieve dental pain.
