See a dentist: The filling will pass through your system without difficulty. Your tooth on the other hand needs to be re-filled soon to prevent problems.

Nothing: It will pass thru your GI system and be excreted.

It will pass: Folks swallow dental things more often then you know. The real danger is from inhaling it. When swallowed, it usually passes uneventfully through your digestive system. In the rare event that you you experience any distress, seek medical care immediately.
