Brazil Smiles Program: Understand how to guarantee 100% FREE dental treatment!

Few people know this, but there is a public program in Brazil that offers free dental care for the entire population. Brasil Sorridente was created with the objective of serving people who need basic dental care and cannot afford the costs.

With a focus on prevention and urgency, the program has been strengthened with new resources to expand care, especially in areas that are more underserved or distant from major centers.

Below, we explain how Brasil Sorridente works and how you can benefit from this initiative.

Who is eligible for Brasil Sorridente?

Any Brazilian citizen can use the services offered by the program, regardless of age, social class, or city where they live. Since Brasil Sorridente is part of SUS (Unified Health System), it is available to all residents of the country.

The program offers a complete range of dental services, from preventive care to more complex treatments. And the best part: it is present in basic health units throughout Brazil, which facilitates access for the population.

How does Brasil Sorridente work?

The program’s mission is to care for the oral health of Brazilians, offering treatments for existing problems and working to prevent new diseases.

The government created specialized centers with modern infrastructure and trained professionals, ready to serve the population free of charge.

These centers are part of the public health network and continue operating within SUS, ensuring that services are accessible to everyone.

This initiative improves the quality of life for millions of Brazilians and directly contributes to the reduction of oral diseases.

How to enroll in the program?

The first step to participate is to verify if the program is already active in your city. This information can be obtained at SUS health posts, at CRAS, or at the municipal health department.

After finding the nearest unit, go to the location bringing your ID, CPF, and proof of residence. If the service is for children, also bring the documents of the legal guardian.

Registration is done at health posts, basic units (UBS), dental centers (CEO), or family health programs (PSF). After that, you will be placed in the queue for appointment scheduling.

Cases of dental emergency should be treated at qualified public hospitals, ensuring prompt care.

How to know if there is service in your city?

You can confirm the availability of Brasil Sorridente in your city in several ways:

• Go to CRAS and ask for updated information;
• Contact your municipality’s health department;
• Use the saúde.gov app to check service units;
• Access the official website of the Ministry of Health and consult the list of locations served.

Consulting in advance ensures that you receive the correct care and within the options offered by your region.

What types of treatment are offered?

Brasil Sorridente covers a wide variety of procedures to ensure quality oral health for the population.

Among the main treatments are:

• Cleaning and prophylaxis;
• Extractions of compromised teeth;
• Clinical exams and diagnostics;
• Restorations and fillings;
• Removal of tartar and bacterial plaque;
• Surgery to remove wisdom teeth;
• Dental implants (depending on the situation);

At the time of service, the dentist will analyze your situation and recommend appropriate procedures. Always check which services are available at the unit you choose.
