Dental intervention in hospitalized patients is necessary both to prevent the development of systemic diseases and to reduce the consequences of those already installed, resulting in a direct relationship between the dentist, patient, multidisciplinary team and the hospital.The purpose of this study is to present the experience of the performance of a dental team in an Intensive Cardiology Unit (ICU); a subunit of an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a University Hospital.312 patients who received dental care during the period they were hospitalized between January 2015 and December 2017.Most of the patients who were seen at the ICU were older than 60 years. This article emphasizes the importance of the presence of Dental Surgeons in a hospital environment, considering that there are a series of preventive, diagnostic, therapeutic and palliative actions in oral health that can influence the systemic health and quality of life of patients. Dental care favors comprehensive patient care, being essential in preventing injuries and improving symptoms that cause discomfort and affect the patient's well-being.
