Abstract

Objective: This study aims to highlight the main aspects of home visits in oral health in primary care. Revisión bibliográfica: The incorporation of home care points to a reorganization of health practices beyond the walls of health services, shifting the critical eye to a space in which the patient lives being framed in this aspect, both the user, the family and the community in which they live. the practices of care are rooted, identifying the particularities, and which would be those families that somehow need greater access to the gateway to the Unified Health System (SUS). The home visit meets the guiding principles of the specific actions in the guidelines of the National Oral Health Policy, as well as the principles of health ethics, universal access for assistance and reception, so it is extremely important to attend with a multidisciplinary team including the Dental Surgeon (CD). Final considerations: Home care is not implemented in all territories in terms of oral health activities and strategies, however it is worth mentioning that the DC should be inserted in order to fully care for patients' oral cavity.
