A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 30 families selected at random from 3 health areas. Each family was related to the determinants of the health status. The family history of oral health and its respective instructions were used as a tool for gathering information. The aspects to be studied were chosen and the quantitative values were determined to evaluate healthy, moderately healthy and unhealthy families. A simple method to identify comparable results between one diagnosis and the other every year or for 2 years was described. Finally, the quality cycle of the healthy families and the strategies to attain it were presented.
