Hello, Thanks for your query. If you swallow a tooth, it is said to not harm you at all. If you swallow a tooth, do not panic. It will eventually pass, due to the fact that teeth are made of hard substances and will not dissolve in your stomach. Relax and keep hydrated whole day. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
