Abstract

The oral health of a population was assessed by questionnaires applied in order to gain knowledge about the real situation of SUS when it comes to dental services. We conducted 400 interviews in Reriutaba-CE on the oral health of these individuals. The research used the community health workers as the group responsible for delivering the forms. The questionaries were distributed throughout the county in regard to the sample. It has been found that in spite of this population sample’s poor access to dental services, they have a fairly accurate perception regarding self oral health, indicating that new health policies may experience positive outcomes regarding oral health care.
