Swallowed tooth : Swallowing a piece of a tooth will not harm you. It will just pass thru.

Most likely no..: Not dangerous to swallow, but dangerous to 'inhale'.

Assume: I assume you swallowed apiece of a tooth that chipped off. Should pass through unnoticed. Please, however, see your dentist asap to rx the damaged tooth before a manageable problem gets out of hand.
