This study sought to compare and contrast the organization of oral health care in the health strategy of the family in the city of Corinth with information in the national scientific literature, to support the improvement of dental care to the population. For such a study was conducted and descriptive literature. We performed a literature review for the study on the inclusion of oral health team at FHS. According to a study it was observed that the inclusion of oral health team in the ESF is very important for people to contribute to decreased levels of oral health problems presented by the population.
