Introduction: Social and economic aspects and oral health behaviors trigger oral diseases with systemic repercussions. Objective: This objective studio aimed to characterize and associate sociodemographic and economic aspects and self-perception, habits, and behavior in the oral health of users of the Dental Specialties Center (DSC) of a municipality in Ceará. Method: This is a cross-sectional analytical observational study with a quantitative approach, conducted in 2019, with patients seen at the Regional DSC of Baturité - CE. After consent, a questionnaire was completed, based on the literature and validated. Results: Of the 388 participants, 63.14% had an income of up to one minimum wage, 54.64% had good self-perception of oral health, and 61.08% brushed at least 3 times a day. An association was observed between being a patient over the age of 40 and using toothpaste, toothbrush, and other means of hygiene and having a good self-perception of oral health, brushing your teeth more than twice a day, and having sought dental care for 6 months. Conclusion: Despite the unfavorable demographic and economic profile, the population studied showed good self-perception and adequate oral health behaviors. Still, their socioeconomic aspects and self-perception, habits, and oral health behaviors were related to each other.
