If you swallow a whole tooth can you die or have surgery?

Not Likely: Only if the tooth was not swallowed and got stuck or it went intoyour respiratory tract and you aspirated it instead of swallowing it. Otherwise, if it can pass into your stomach, it will just come out with the poop. ;)

No: You probably would not even feel a thing as it will be passed in the stool.

Probably OK: Unless the tooth was badly damaged, and had sharp edges, it should pass intact. You'll have to check your stool for the next few days to make sure it does. If not, call your Physician. But why did you have a loose tooth in your mouth? Permanent teeth should not loosen and fall out. Please call your Dentist. If child swallows tiny crown of baby tooth will pass OK.

You are ok: the tooth should pass without any problems.

In lungs?: If it did not lodge in the bronchioles, then it will pass through the digestive tract.
