title: [Oral health for the elderly: an interdisciplinary approach].
abstract: The aging of the Brazilian population and the resulting change in its age structure require from public policies and health professionals distinct attitudes with regard to health care delivery, focused on interdisciplinary work. This text aims at emphasizing the importance of using the problematization method in the context of an interdisciplinary approach, in which the actions shared by the different fields of knowledge converge to an interactive process towards an integrated view of the individual.
