Abstract
The insertion of therapeutic gardens in SUS fosters shared care and encourages promising therapeutic approaches to oral health, as it transports popular health practices to the center. This implies reorganizing the services using the Extended Clinic as an axis. Studies in this sphere are justified by the need to know experiences developed in the territories. The work carried out from March to August 2017 in a Basic Health Unit in Vitória-ES is reported. The experiences and effects of the work processes were mapped with the oral health team and users, from the construction of a vegetable garden in the Family Health Strategy. The methodological axes were adopted: production of field diaries and conducting semi-structured interviews. The investigation produced devices for collective analysis of work processes and training practices, which also express incompatibilities between the professional profile required for structuring the Amplified Clinic and the real work processes in Dentistry. Thus, understanding the construction of the garden as a device for creating care networks implies outlining practices rich in interdisciplinary dialogue and developing new concepts of performance in oral health and possibilities for Primary Care.
