The expanded clinic can be understood as the relationship established between the different health professionals with the users in order to produce health through the empowerment of the subjects and creation of autonomy. In this context, professional training in dentistry should be based on the development of technical skills combined with humanistic qualities to act in the perspective of the Expanded Clinic. Considering the debate regarding the formation of dentists integrated into the public health service and considering the prospect of performance in the expanded clinic, the purpose of this study is to report the academic experience of a supervised internship, in a health unit, in Porto Alegre/RS. The internship took place over a thirty-day period, with a workload of 15 hours per week, at the one health unit of the Grupo Hospitalar Conceição, and it was structured on a descriptive experience report method, related to the student's critical reflective process. The internship included activities of outpatient follow-up and health promotion and prevention, performed at the health unit and its operating fields. From the experience it was possible to observe that the team’s proposal for the service performance it the conclusion of the treatment and the perspective of a joint treatment plan, specific to the social reality of each patient, based on the horizontal communication between the community and the professionals. Finally, understanding oral health within the perspective of the extended clinic requires a joint analysis of the bio-psycho-social issues of the persons.
