Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of oral health literacy (OHL) on conceptions of care and behaviors related to COVID-19. The sample consisted of parents/guardians of six-to-12-year-old children in two major Brazilian cities. Functional and interactive OHL levels were measured, and a questionnaire on COVID-19 conceptions and behaviors was administered. Higher levels of functional OHL were associated with an appropriate conception of individual care affecting collective care, while higher levels of interactive OHL were related to social distancing behavior.
