The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of caries and treatment needs and verify acess and evaluation of dental services, as well the degree to which oral health affects the daily performance between the age groups of 5, 12, 15 to 19, 35 to 44 and 65 to 74 years in Alagoinha, PB, Brazil. Data collection was conducted in eight urban census tracts in the city, using the methodology of SB BRASIL 2010. Through the cartographic map of the city, the sectors were recorded by a trained examiner (kappa = 0.92 95% IC 0.90 to 0.95). Clinical examination was performed on 316 individuals and 371 responded to interview and intra-examiner was assessed using the kappa test (0.97). Index Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (OIDP) was used to assess the impact on oral daily performance. Once collected, the data were worked by descriptive statistics and tested using Chi-square and Fisher Exact test. The prevalence of dental caries between age groups was 86.1%, the dmft for 5 years and DMFT at 12 was 1.76 and 2.17, respectively. According to the type of treatment need in all age groups, the highest percentage corresponded to the indication of restorations. There was a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) compared to the presence of caries experience and gender, dental visits and interference in daily activities.
