• Abstract:

  During the COVID 19 pandemic, restrictions were imposed on dental care, limiting the performance of traditional dentistry. Elective services were suspended and this new reality allowed us to envision an opening for differentiated action in Prevention. It was feasible to develop and execute a set of actions in favor of Oral Health due to the connection that the Network provides us between Health and Education. A unique opportunity to reach all students with health actions through different prevention strategies, in conjunction with educational activities. Therefore, we present a brief report of our experience in Oral Health Promotion, carried out with more than 600 students from Elementary School Municipal Professora Adelaide Starke, in the city of Blumenau, Santa Catarina, Brazil in the year 2021/2022.
