The odontostomatology consultation is a medical visit which, according to Hippocrates, involves the following four stages: observation, palpation, percussion and auscultation. The aim was to study the reasons for consultation in Odontostomatology. Methodology: Retrospective and descriptive over three months from 1er January to 31 March 2022. Results: The age group 15 to 44 years was the most represented, i.e. 72% of cases. The female sex constituted 59%; the household profession was the most represented, i.e. 43% of cases, and the marital status was married (70%) of cases. Dental pain was the most frequent cause of consultation (98%), followed by dental mobility (2%), and self-medication was used by 37% of our patients. Dental caries was the most common diagnosis, accounting for 77.87% of cases. Conclusion: Early consultation and appropriate management can prevent the most serious complications of oral diseases.
