I have been to the dentist many times but never had the inclination to wear earrings. I wasn’t aware of this as being an issue for dental patients who wear earrings, but as an engineer I would have thought that if there was so much x-ray leakage that it would heat up metal if I “were” to wear it, I would definitely never agree to have x- rays performed by that dentist.

What I did provided was a heads up to some of the less than competent members of the proffession.-

Generally I don't slag off the medical professionals here but since you mentioned a few I'll comment.
The Ong clinic gave me a price to repair my screwed up dental implants without even taking an x-ray. So they were scratched off my list in a heartbeat.
Chung Hua took a 5000 peso CT scan/x-ray and then came up with a sketchy plan where they would try something. If that failed......and on and on.
Dr Cordeta looked at the CT scan/x-ray and pointed out a massive sinus infection from 2 implants that intruded into the sinus cavity. That infection had to be corrected before anything could be done. There was bone loss around the implants due to infection. Chung Hua wanted to stuff some implant material to make up for the missing bone. The implant material never would have integrated into the jaw.
Chung Hua has many dentists so possibly you had a different person.
