Is it bad to swallow glue used for braces - accidentally?

Not harmful: In such small amounts dental adhesives, if swallowed accidentally, should pose no harm.

Glue: A small amount would probably not do you any harm

Won't hurt: It's pretty much inert once it has hardened. Swallowing a small amount (less that a bathtub full) will just pass right through without doing harm.
