Introduction: Home Care (HC) is a form of healthcare that provides patients with a comprehensive range of services. The guidelines of Brazil's National Oral Health Policy highlight HC as a key approach for expanding access to services and fostering a connection with the population. Methodology: This study presents an experience report from the Oral Health Team within the Family Health Strategy (FHS). The intervention period was from March to July 2023 in the city of Itatiba, SP. Results: A total of 25 patients received home care consultations, with an average age of 65 years. Eleven patients used full dentures, five had carious lesions, eight presented dental calculus, and one patient had an ulcerated lesion on the alveolar ridge. Interventions included oral hygiene guidance, restorative treatment, periodontal treatment, and referrals to secondary care for complementary exams. Conclusion: The study concluded that most procedures performed were denture guidance, atraumatic restorative treatment, and scaling and root planing. Additionally, the importance of oral cancer screening was highlighted, with one case identified in a patient. Moreover, the need for sensitivity and compassion in home care was emphasized, recognizing the conditions of both the patient and their family.
