Abstract

Aim: To describe the importance of the general dentist follow-up in the first thousand days of life, in addition to presenting approaches that the professional should perform during this period. Literature review: The first thousand days of life span from conception to the end of the second year of life. Both pregnancy and the subsequent two years of a child's life are considered a key period for structuring healthy development with lifelong impacts. It is essential that the dentist who assists pregnant women, postpartum women and children integrates the care network, including oral health in the context of general health, encouraging and supporting breastfeeding and healthy eating, in addition to providing guidance on the correct maintenance of oral hygiene, the harmful effects of using teats and pacifiers, and all aspects that affect oral health and general health. Discussion: The dentist must work in the first thousand days of life from the dental prenatal period, during the puerperal period, at the time of the child's first dental appointment and also in periodic follow-ups. The accompaniment of a qualified professional allows an improvement in the quality of life of the pregnant woman and the child, coming to base the role of the professional not only in the treatment, but also in the application of preventive health measures. Conclusion: The dentist, along with other health professionals, must act with emphasis on the first thousand days of life, thus ensuring a healthy development and growth of the child.
