Of the 103 respondents, 39.7% prescribe anxiolytics for pregnant women, 15.4% prescribe contraindicated analgesics, 73.79% prescribe penicillin as the antibiotic of choice, 39.7% prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs, in the anesthetic of choice 45.63 % indicated Lidocaine + Epinephrine 1:100,000 and 16.4% opted for unsafe anesthetics. Conclusion: It was concluded that the level of knowledge of the DCs in relation to the average of correct answers for the questions about the prescription of medications to pregnant women was insufficient, the need for knowledge regarding this type of special care.
