Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate how dental services in primary health care (PHC) were accessed in Paraíba between 2019 and 2020. Methodology: They were collected from the Health Information System for Primary Care (SISAB) ) data referring to the first dental consultations, completed treatments and oral health surveillance in the years 2019 and 2020. After being collected, the data were tabulated in Microsof Excel and then unfavorable in SPSS version 24.0. Results: First dental consultations and treatments concluded a sharp drop between the years 2019 and 2020 that can be attributed to the guidelines for the suspension of elective dental care during a Covid pandemic - 19. Conclusion: restrictive changes such as the suspension of elective procedures, restricted the population's access to dental services, which may lead to changes that are not yet comparable and immeasurable in the need for treatment, as well as in the oral health and quality of life of service users.
