Abstract
This article aims to analyze the collective oral health activities of teachers and dental academics with a view to preventing caries and promoting the health of riverine people in the Amazon. Ludic (music, theater), evaluation of the prevalence of dental caries and the need for treatment were used as intervention methodology. All participants reported their perceptions in a field diary and photographic album organization. The result of the study shows that the riverside habitants presented a higher incidence of caries compared to the national average, with very low access to clinical dental treatment. It is concluded that eating habits, culture and precarious access to consumer goods and dental treatment interfere in the result, raising the caries index of the riverside beyond the national average.
