Please arrange: To see your dental provider back so that this can be replaced. You should have already passed the bridge in your stool. I am assuming that it is long gone now.

Swallowed bridge: It is usually a good idea to have an x-ray of your chest and stomach area to make sure such a thing did not get aspirated into the lungs or hung up somewhere in you digestive system, but the time frame is such that it should have long passed through by now. If you are feeling fine it is likely not still in your body anywhere, but you do need to have it replaced for sure ! :).
