Introduction: The application of Oral Health Policies (PSB) has a great influence on the achievement of Sustainable Development (SD) of communities, promoting an improvement in the quality of life.
Objective: Analyze the proposals for Oral Health Policies in the Sustainable Development of communities.
Method: The research methodology was a documentary, descriptive design, extracted from scientific databases such as Scopus, Scielo, Web of Science, Pubmed, Redalyc and Proquest in a total of 53 articles, from the years 2018 to 2024, in languages of English and Spanish.
Results: The great importance of applying Oral Health Policies (PSB) is demonstrated through the implementation of new programs, in order to ensure the sustainable development of communities, understanding the great challenge of the work of the dental professional within the fulfillment of the SDGs, highlighting that its work is framed beyond the curative clinical area, since it has an important performance as a scientific discipline in promoting health by positively affecting the social determinants of health-disease processes and therefore in the construction of communities.
Conclusions: The efficiency of the Oral Health Policy (PSB) will have a great influence on the sustainable development of communities, first of all, because it is a fundamental right and, in the coming decades, the high rates of oral diseases must decrease since they are Preventable diseases, but if left untreated it can even trigger periodontitis and cardiovascular problems.
