Introduction: We aim to assess a health education strategy for schools, regarding the oral component, through oral hygiene and oral health indexes, using the knowledge and practices for oral health of school kids, parents and/or significant adults.

Methods: We conducted an evaluation using elements from a quantitative and descriptive study in two periods, 2006 and 2011. We carried out a review of dental records and clinical examinations using oral hygiene (IHOs) and oral health (DMFT and deft) indexes. A survey was conducted in school kids, parents and/or significant adults about knowledge and practices relevant to oral health.

Results: We found an improvement of the knowledge and practices relating to oral health in the participants of the study. Parents and adults noticed a positive change in the oral health of children. A positive change in the oral hygiene was found in 56% of females, 54% of children under 11 and 53% of the high school students. 60% of the children were healthy relative to cavities at the time of examination and 44% had no caries experience.

Conclusions: The observed indicators allowed us to positively evaluate the results of the project and invited to strengthening community strategies for health education within institutional plans.
