PLANO DE INTERVENÇÃO PARA IMPLEMENTAÇÃO DO PRÉ NATAL ODONTOLÓGICO NA ESTRATÉGIA DE SAÚDE DA FAMÍLIA NO MUNICÍPIO DE CEDRAL-MA

Pregnancy represents a unique and valuable phase in a woman's life cycle, marked by a series of complex and interconnected transformations. During this period, significant emotional changes occur, triggered by hormonal and psychological factors, which shape the pregnant woman's experience. Given the importance of dental prenatal care, the objective of this study is to propose an intervention plan for the implementation of dental prenatal care in the Family Health Strategy (ESF) of the municipality of Cedral-MA. Therefore, it is essential to establish an effective commitment with existing programs to ensure the expansion of access and the quality of dental care during pregnancy. To implement dental prenatal care in Cedral, we propose an intervention plan that includes the continuous training of health professionals, especially those working in the Family Health Strategy (ESF). This training should include training on the importance of oral health during pregnancy and safe approaches for caring for pregnant women. Thus, we conclude that the reviewed literature highlights that oral health during pregnancy cannot be neglected, as it has direct implications for maternal and perinatal well-being.
