Abstract

The present study aimed to analyze the perspective of pregnant women on how dental care occurs in the context of Primary Health Care. This is a qualitative study through 16 semi-structured interviews with pregnant women in the second or third trimester of pregnancy, in a city in the countryside of São Paulo. The data was subjected to content analysis, thematic modality. It was observed that dental care in the Family Health Teams and Basic Health Units focuses on the general health of the pregnant woman and the fetus but has a weak focus on oral health. Pregnant women presented limitations related to oral self-care, as well as barriers that interfered with dental care during the gestational period. Despite identifying the importance of dental care during pregnancy, pregnant women face fears, fears, negative influences from relatives, lack of professional and care preparation, which limit the provision of prenatal dental care.
