Aim: This study was to describe the oral health procedures and to identify factors associated with the visit of pregnant woman to the dental service during prenatal care.
Methods: This work was a cross-sectional study, which interviewed 742 postpartum women in seven maternity hospitals in the Microrregion of São Mateus, ES, Brazil, in 2012 and 2013. A descriptive analysis of the dental procedures received during the prenatal period and multiple logistic regression were performed to obtain the factors associated with the pregnant woman seeking dental care during prenatal care.
Results: Only 33.6% of the women received dental care during prenatal care. Of these, 44.2% had access to the follow-up dentist’s appointment and 61.4% prophylaxis by the dentist. Receiving dental care during prenatal care was associated with years of study (RP = 1.18; 95%CI 1.07-1.31), type of coverage of basic care (RP = 1.96; 95%CI 1.31-2.92), number of prenatal consultations (RP = 1.23; 95%CI 1.10-1.37), and impact of oral health on quality of life (RP = 1.39; 95%CI 1.02-1.37).
Conclusion: Oral health care during pregnancy continues to be neglected, mainly for the most vulnerable pregnant women (low levels of education, few prenatal consultations, care provided by a simpler health team during prenatal care). Therefore, there is a need to expand dental care services, as well as an active seeking of dental care by vulnerable pregnant women.
