According to the National Curricular Guidelines for Dental courses, the training of the dentist should result in a professional capable of meeting the oral health needs of the population and be in line with the principles of the Unified Health System. The teaching of the clinic must extrapolate the operative act and broaden its scope of practice. Since 2006, the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of São Paulo teaches the students of the first semester of graduation the subject called Expanded Health Promotion Clinic. The Subject proposes to break with the health paradigm as the absence of disease and to present the interface between the biological and the social in this process, to the expansion of the clinic and integral care. This experience report aims to describe the subject, characterizing pedagogical strategies and their relevance in the insertion of students in the practice scenarios in primary care, as well as the evaluation methods implemented during the year. It is hoped that subject model presented may stimulate debate and promote discussions within the Subject courses so that as early as possible we can discuss the topics related to health care and the Extended Clinic.
