Importância do pré-natal odontológico na APS: relato de experiência

Abstract

Prenatal care for pregnant women should be performed by all professionals in Primary Health Care and everyone should know the importance of their role. The dental surgeon plays a fundamental role in the care of pregnant women. Being aware of this fact, the Ministry of Health, in its new financing model, includes the dentist in active participation during prenatal care. Therefore, this study aims to address the importance of dental prenatal care for professionals from family health teams in a basic health unit in the Federal District using the application of the Arch of Maguerez as a method. The intervention was carried out through continuing education meetings in family health team meetings addressing the theme. During the meetings there were discussions and alignment of flows between the family health team and the oral health team. The activity was successfully completed where the active participation of the members of the family health teams was observed, and therefore, it is expected to generate positive data in the Previne Brasil indicators.
