The world is again witnessing a disease caused by viruses that can infect animals and humans. Close contact, such as in dental care, is a central disease transmission mechanism. Thus, having an impact in all areas of health, we highlight in this text the look and care in front of dental and radiological clinics. This brief communication aims to orient dental surgeons and radiology professionals about the forms of protection and biosafety in patient care. Some recommendations have been made to avoid the spread of monkeypox in radiology clinics. Clinics must continue with the care and disinfection process started since the pandemic by COVID-19. Likely, the recommendations in this document could be used not only in periods of new disease discovery or pandemic but also in periods considered of no concern.
