- Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify the knowledge and educational practices of daycare teachers about oral health. This is a qualitative and descriptive study, developed with 28 teachers in Manaus, Brazil. The data collected through semi-structured interviews were systematized by thematic content analysis with the support of the word cloud resource. The results showed that, among the 28 (100%) interviewed, 23 completed the undergraduate course and 5 had undergraduate and graduate courses. The age ranged between 25 and 67 years. The teachers had knowledge about oral health and emphasized the bad habits of the children, which led to caries, and healthy habits. It was concluded that the teachers' knowledge about oral health was strongly anchored in caries disease, with indications of the approximation of the preventive care model. In relation to educational practices, playful technologies have emerged.
