| Resumo: | The aim of this study was to evaluate the behavior of pregnant women from a city of southern state of Minas Gerais during dental treatment. A quantitative Cross-sectional study was mad with 100 pregnant patients who were seeking medical care in private and NHS Alfenas-MG. The interviews were realized through questionnaires containing 18 questions. The results show that most patients carry three brushings / day and use dental floss 2-3 times a day. Also, 22% of them accused sensitivity brushing, 35% and 24% easy bleeding, swollen gums and fear of the exposure to X-ray.
