Aim: To evaluate the prenatal dental care provided for pregnant women in the public primary healthcare network, based on the perception of dentists who work in this service.
Methods: This study was cross-sectional with a quantitative approach. The data were collected through a structured questionnaire between May and July 2017 with dentists who provide dental care in the public primary healthcare network in Belo Horizonte (MG). Data were analyzed using prevalence estimates calculated using the STATA statistics package.
Results: Two hundred sixty dental surgeons participated in this study. Among them, 98.5% provided dental care for pregnant women in their healthcare center, with a monthly average of 1 to 4 visits and with treatment adherence in 54.5% of the cases. The access was mainly through referral given by the doctor or nurse or by free application. Almost all of the dentists (94.9%) considered themselves prepared to provide dental care to pregnant women. The main difficulties were related to the use of radiography and the lack of information of healthcare professionals involved in providing prenatal dental care and dental care for pregnant women during this period.
Conclusion: The pregnant women are receiving dental care in the public primary healthcare network, and the dentists in this study were not afraid to attend to them. The facilitated access to the dental care services available at the Health Centers is being carried out; through the information provided by the dentists, it was possible to see that the referral of the pregnant women by the healthcare professionals involved in prenatal dental care, whether they are a doctor, a nurse, or a Community Healthcare Agent, is being carried out.
