I have a mini detector that works awesome for pellets. Cheap to buy and has found a pile while making sausage and jerky.

OUCH, feel your pain
Yup,
i was at a Fish and Game wild game night a few years back and wouldn't you know it I like the Pheasant Goulash and about the third mouthful i feel a crunch in teeth. Cost me 2 teeth and a trip to the dentist.
Now I don't take the upland or migratory bird without dissecting each fork or spoon full.

Smaller Bites.
Learned that lesson the hardway too (th)-it's largely a first world problem & a reminder to take smaller bites everyone.

We always debone our birds and cut into thin strips and then follow wound channels looking for shot.
Large shot size (BBs and 1 for geese,,, 2 and 3 for ducks) with fast loads (over 1500 fps) and not taking fringe shots really helps cut down on the number of embedded pellets,,, but you still get a the odd one which makes dissection when processing worth your time!!!

I have, total cost was around $2500 for the filling and eventual route canal. Still paying for it as the tooth occasionally needs to be ground because the bite keeps changing.
I purchased a small Garret hand held metal detector that now goes over every bird I shoot. I would guess I have found 20 or so pellets that I might have missed without it.
