Videos as tools for the education in oral health in the teaching-service integration at the University Center of Patos de Minas during the pandemic

In the graduate course in Dentistry at the University Center of Patos de Minas, several in-person activities of the Teaching, Service, and Community Integration (INESC) internship had to be suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as recommended by health authorities. This article aims to report the experience of applying the concepts of health education in remote education through the production of videos shared by eighth-period students enrolled in this internship. The steps for preparing a script, with language adaptation, and the use of the conative function were completed, as well as the use of playful resources. In general, teachers and students have perceived the power and reach of digital tools, which, in addition to transforming and enriching the academic training and preparing students for a new post-pandemic reality, are also perennial tools of social transformation, that can be used in different contexts and places, expanding the access of the population to educational measures in oral health.
