摘要：Due to the increase in life expectancy in Brazil, it became important to be more careful with the health of the elderly, providing them with expansion of coverage and quality of life. In this process, public universities have been playing a significant role through Universities Open to the Third Age (UNATIs), giving this population a qualified and compatible attention to their needs and desires, thanks to the project "Smiling with health has no age", linked to the UNATI program, born with the proposal to offer differentiated dental care and information pertinent to the elderly. This article aims to describe the activities developed by the project and the results collected describing the experiences lived by the group. This project began its activities in 2009, paying special attention to the elderly with actions of prevention, guidance and clinical treatment. Academics were constantly oriented to learn and understand the needs, limitations and peculiarities of the elderly public, to offer a care compatible with their demands and desires. The purpose of the project was not only to provide the assisted public with an improvement in health conditions, but also to offer participating scholars the possibility of articulating activities with teaching and research, fortifying the teaching-research-extension tripod. Moreover, the project made them see the importance that the dental surgeon represents in the life of the elderly, because it is known that oral health care must occur throughout life.
