Introduction: this article describes oral hygiene of the population in the municipal capital of San Francisco, Antioquia (Colombia), according to their sociodemographic conditions.
 
Methods: a transversal study was conducted of non-probabilistic samples in the municipality’s urban area with patients around the investigative ages recommended by the World Health Organization (5, 12, 15, 25, 35, 45, 55 and 65 years). A collecting tool was designed to inquire the sociodemographic conditions, the health habits and the va-riables that allow an estimation of the Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (sohi). An analytical and observational study was performed.
 
Results and discussion: the higher proportion of survey respondents were women (65%), with a higher presence of population at the age of childhood. Most of them are in the subsidized system and live in lower stratums. Only a fifth of the respondents have a secondary or higher level of education. The use of too-thbrushes and toothpaste was generalized, as opposed to the rare use of dental floss and mouthwash. At most ages, it became evident a higher incidence of inadequate oral hygiene and a significant statistical association to the level of schooling.
 
Conclusion: oral hygiene in urban areas is mainly related to the level of schooling, so initiatives to implement educa-tional strategies that promote oral healthcare at the municipality should be directed to give priority to people in the most vulnerable situations.
