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
