Objective: To know the perception of dentists about the functioning of emergency public dental services (PEDS). Material and Methods: Cross-sectional exploratory study performed in Goiania, a large municipality in the mid-west of Brazil. Participated as subjects the dentists of all ten municipal PEDS. The perception was measured by Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5, where value 5 represented maximum agreement with assertions contained in a questionnaire about the functioning of the services. Results: The final sample consisted of 44 dentists (Response rate=70%.) The perception of the professionals, measured by average agreement with the assertions, ranged from 3.54 and 4.68 in a maximum score of 5.00. Conclusion: For all items discussed there was a favorable perception of the participants. In the perception of the professionals, emergency public dental services meet a spontaneous demand, commonly of endodontic emergencies, with performance of non-conclusive procedures and dental extraction. The professionals recognize that there is a need to improve the embracement of patients, as well as to adopt clinical protocols for the treatment, yet there are flaws in the system of reference of patients, in continuing education of professionals and in the conditions of provision of the services to the population.
