Abstract

The project “Educational, preventive and curative dental actions for children aged 0 to 6 years old that attend at the Municipal Center for Child Education Valéria Veronesi (CMEI, Brazilian abbreviation), Londrina”, carried out by the State University of Londrina, aims to promote oral health for children assisted by CMEI and provide treatment for their dental needs. In the context of COVID-19, face-to-face activities had to undergo modifications to ensure community service. Therefore, the objective of this study is to report the activities promoted by the project before and during the pandemic period and to present the proposals outlined by undergraduate dentistry students, residents, and pediatric dentistry professors. Even in this period of uncertainty, the project contributed to disseminate knowledge, and provide a better quality of life for children and their families, in addition to enable students to develop skills to deal with social reality.
