ABSTRACT
The main goal of this paper is to present a brief
history of the primary dental care during the
first years of life and to discuss the principles
on which the Baby Clinic from the Londrina
State University (UEL) are based on. The literature
show some reports of primary dental
care for babies since the beginning of the 20th
century, but only during the 80’s these concepts
were systematized and applied on public and
private oral health services in Brazil. The Baby
Clinic experience allowed the formation of human
resources and the definition of oral health
strategies to the babies’ dental care in Brazil and
around the world. Based on the principles discussed
in this paper, it can be concluded that
the primary dental care must start around the
first four to six months of life. The main objective
is to maintain children’s oral health emphasizing
the focus on caries risk. The oral health
education through prevention with the co-participation
of parents and professionals is the
most important principle.
