Abstract
Objective: To report the experience of the Oral Health Promotion on the Beach extension project. Experience report: The extension project “Promotion of Oral Health on the Beach” promoted the oral health of stallholders, street vendors and fishermen, from the beaches of the municipality of Recife. Through health education, reflection and learning were promoted through educational actions, with lectures, conversation circles and leafleting, on the beaches, about oral pathologies related to sun exposure, their risk factors, how to prevent them and diagnose them early, emphasizing and teaching these workers self-examination of the mouth and healthy oral and life habits. Final considerations: The activities carried out had a positive impact, considering that the public addressed was lacking in information and a large part of them showed interest in the knowledge passed on. The workers reported their lack of knowledge about the existence of the oral health care network and questioned the lack of accessibility to dental services.
