This article proposes a reflection on the imperative of antiracism in collective oral health, which, as a science, field, core, and praxis, contributes significantly to the reconstruction of an ethos that considers equity and enables citizenship and democracy. As a paradigm, we assumed the concept of "Buccality" and the guidelines of the National Comprehensive Health Policy for the Black Population, emphasizing the defense of the right to health as a prerogative of the right to life and the combat against racism and all forms of discrimination systematically. As a critical exercise, we discussed the status quo of collective oral health. We pointed to adopting a racial pro-equity perspective as an intentional, political choice socially agreed upon with all of society for social justice. Finally, we propose recommendations for dismantling systemic racism in collective oral health.
本文对集体口腔健康中反种族主义的必要性进行了反思，作为一门科学、领域、核心和实践，它为重建一种伦理观做出了重大贡献，这种伦理观考虑公平，使公民权和民主成为可能。作为一个范例，我们假设了“口腔性”的概念和国家黑人人口全面健康政策的指导方针，强调了健康权作为生命权的特权以及系统地反对种族主义和一切形式的歧视。作为一项批判性的实践，我们讨论了集体口腔健康的现状。我们指出，采取种族平等的观点是一种有意的、政治上的选择，是社会各界为社会正义达成的社会共识。最后，我们提出了在集体口腔健康中消除系统性种族主义的建议。
