Objective: to analyze the knowledge of oral health and its relationship with the socioeconomic status in adults. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was carried out. Information on sociodemographic and oral health knowledge was collected through a household survey. Sample size was determined by establishing a confidence level of 95% (381 individuals) for the generalization of results. A simple random sampling design was used for the selection of households to be surveyed. In addition, this was supplemented with a non-probability quota sampling procedure for selecting the individuals to be interviewed. Results: A scale ranging from 0 to 28 points was used to measure knowledge on oral health. The adults of the city of Corrientes have an acceptable level of knowledge on this matter since they had a minimum score of 15 points in said scale. The results for individuals with a low SES were similar to those obtained by individuals with a medium-high and high SES. Individuals with a mediumlow SES had a significantly lower level of knowledge on oral health. Conclusion: These results should be considered in the design of intervention strategies that affect the social and cultural determinants of the health-disease process.
