In spite of the innovations proposed in the last years to the model of training in dentistry, it has been centered in the acquisition of competencies related to the development of technical procedures in a dentist-centered way. Contrary, work in health, demands a broad and comprehensive action that corresponds to the subjectivized and complex needs of a living body. Based on the narratives of a formative itinerary (which occurred through the experience of a dentist in the practice of the extended clinic). Our objective is to reveal elements that contribute to the discussion and assist in the search for alternatives and coping with the inconsistencies between the model of training in dentistry and the professional profile demanded by the work in health. Encouraged by the call of ABENO's Magazine, the authors saw the opportunity to report a joint experience, based on experiences lived singularly. The narrative of the formative itinerary in an expanded clinic, initially within the framework of a research project and then in the world of work, points out obstacles and obstacles related to the development of the expanded oral health clinic, besides revealing benefits and facilities in the incorporation of practices that put the subject at the center. The narrative also shows the formative potential of the extended clinical experience. There is evidence of the need to develop studies and systematize experiences related to the expanded oral health clinic, in the field of training and work, in order to strengthen its development.
