| Summary: | In this research, it was evaluated the awareness
of pregnant women when it comes to their dental
heath, by identifying social representations
that provide their dental care. Data were col lected from 43 pregnant, in an age group from
15 to 40 year old, in the eastern zone of Manaus.
Data were obtained through a questionnaire responded
while they were waiting to be attended
during their prenatal examination. Results
show a significant percentage of below twenty-
year old pregnant women (30,23%), most of
them in the third trimester pregnancy (55,81%),
low-level of schooling (55,81%) with the family
low-income representing the minimum monthly
wage in the country (60,47%). In Amazon, the
perception of the buccal health for the pregnant
was considered low. The analyzed data confirm
the need of buccal health programs addressed
for pregnant women, standing out the understanding
and orientation so that they can care
for the family buccal health. |
