Hehe, in my case I used to have a metal filling that was removed, but I was still worried about a missing piece of it or something.

Apparently it's not an issue, even if you do have them.



My first MRI I confirmed I have no metal on my body to the technician, but by the time I was inside I suddenly remembered I have metal fillings. I was so stressed by the time the machine turned on, but yeah no problems at all


The machine was already on by the time you were in it. The magnet does not get turned off.


True, but the RF coils do get turned on & off. Heating of non-magnetic metal from the radio waves used for scanning is another concern, not just magnetic force.
