The aim of this article was to discuss the dentistry field and the possible effects of the pandemic of COVID-19 on the oral health, in Brazil. To understand the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the right to oral health and public, private dental care in Brazil, this essay was based on Pierre Bourdieu's theory of fields. The global pandemic represents major economic, political and health challenges and crises in countries. Will the questions introduced in the dentistry field by the pandemic bring about changes in dental practice?
