dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Caregivers’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices, regarding primary teeth and early childhood caries (ECC), have been found to play a role in the development of ECC (Njoroge, 2007; Baskaradoss, 2018). Almost daily, public dentists working in the Great Kei Sub-District in the Eastern Cape are required to extract teeth on young children (under the age of six). This study was done to ascertain the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of caregivers of young children in this area, and to discover whether there was an association between these factors and the decayed-, missing- and filled teeth (dmft) scores of their children.
