Please help! what happens if you swallow your tooth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually...: ... The tooth will pass though your digestive tract and anus. If you are referring to a prosthetic crown, there is a finite time that it will remain in your stomach before it passes into your intestines. The physicians in the er can pump your stomach if it is within the first hour or so....
