A member asked:
I swallowed a tooth will it pass ok or should i try throwing it up.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It will pass: After an hour or so, it's too late to even try. See a dentist for an evaluation... teeth that fall out by themselves can be aspirated and can result in choking and death.
