The woman reportedly screamed out in pain as she was being taken out of the machine.

An anonymous medical provider reported the strange incident to the Food and Drug Administration in April 2023, though it’s received renewed media attention this week. The 22-year-old woman reportedly screamed out in pain as she was pulled out of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine following a scan, which then prompted her delayed admission of having had a “butt plug” inserted.

That's weird. I've had MRIs and I have old silver fillings. Didn't have an issue.

silver isn't magnetic

I know, which is why I was questioning the OP saying the old silver fillings are getting torn out of people's mouths.

Silver is not supposed to react to magnetic fields.

From personal examples, I can cite my father and two uncles, all of which had to check their teeth before undergoing MRIs.

Professionally, I worked in a medical engineering company for thee years and it was one of the most stressed safety points I would hear, when the engineers delivered these machines.

Better safe than sorry.
