Saúde Bucal
Resumo:
A assistência em Saúde Bucal no SUS enfrenta o desafio de responder ao perfil epidemiológico da população adulta. Com o objetivo de compreender as vivências, expectativas e percepção de acesso aos serviços pelas usuárias dos serviços de saúde do município de Diamantina-MG, foi realizada pesquisa qualitativa utilizando entrevista semiestruturada e a análise de conteúdo para análise dos dados. A apresentação e a discussão dos resultados basearam-se no diálogo entre o interacionismo simbólico e o conceito de habitus de Bourdieu. Os resultados mostram que as entrevistadas não davam, antes, importância ao cuidado com o dente, porque os procedimentos eram-lhes desconhecidos ou porque a prática dominante era a extração dentária. Hoje, valorizam os dentes e sofrem os constrangimentos sociais que causam a sua boca mal cuidada. Contudo, o acesso à restauração dos dentes pelo SUS não lhes é ainda possível. Para os filhos, percebem haver melhor acesso à informação e ao cuidado, mas para procedimentos especializados ainda encontram barreiras. Expressam resignação ao mau estado dos seus dentes e às dificuldades de acesso, o que pode ser compreendido pelas exclusões já vividas que moldam suas ações no presente. Conclui-se que a assistência à Saúde Bucal do SUS deve incorporar a dimensão estética do dente como um direito social.

Abstract:
Assistance in Oral Health at SUS faces the challenge of responding to the epidemiological profile of the adult population in Brazil. To understand the experiences, expectations and perception of access to services by SUS users in Diamantina - MG, qualitative research was conducted using semi-structured interviews and content analysis to assess the data. The discussion of the results was based on dialogue between the symbolic interactionism of Goffman and Bourdieu‘s concept of habitus. The results show that the users did not give importance to dental care during childhood and adolescence because care was unknown to them. There was no offer of treatment besides dental extraction. Today, they value the teeth and suffer the embarrassment caused by rotten teeth. However, access to dental restoration by SUS is not possible. For their children, they perceive a better access to information and care, but for specialized procedures there are barriers. They express resignation both in relation to the poor state of the teeth and the difficulties of access to dental care, which can be understood by the constant exclusion experienced by them in the past, shaping their actions in the present. It was concluded that oral health in SUS should incorporate the social value and the aesthetic dimension of the tooth as a health need and a social right.
