A member asked:
Will facial piercings show up on dental x ray?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Most likely they will, it all depends on the angle at which the x-ray is taken and where in the face those piercings are, but in all likelyhood, they will show. You'll probably be asked to remove them before any dental x-ray is done.
