ABSTRACT

Introduction: prevention, from the school, should facilitate an anticipatory vision that in practice reverts to initiatives in the pedagogical process, based on the participation of its collective, leading to changes in the behavior of people for a better life quality. It also should propitiate harmony between the ways of thinking, feeling and behaving in the development of the child, and actively contribute to build the desired social project.
Objective: to describe the current state of knowledge, procedures and behaviors to prevent oral health problems in schoolchildren at Jose Maria Heredia de Heredia Primary School, in the municipality of Matanzas.
Materials and methods: a diagnostic was made on the knowledge, procedures and behaviors the teachers have to prevent oral health problems in schoolchildren at Jose Maria Heredia de Heredia Primary School, municipality of Matanzas, between the months of February and April 2021.
Results: potentialities and insufficiencies were evidenced in the training of the primary teacher for the prevention of oral health problems.
Conclusions: the knowledge, procedures and behaviors the teachers of this educational institution have to prevent oral health problems in their students are insufficient, and demonstrate the need of proposing educational actions aimed at solving this insufficiency.
