Swallowing a single tooth is usually not an problem. It is expected to pass in your stools. You can check your stools daily to see if its there. If you start getting abdominal pains then get yourself checked. X-Rays can track to progress of the tooth in your intestines.

A SINGLE TOOTH PARTIAL HAS USUALLY WIRE HOOKS SO IF SWOLLED IT COULD CAUSE AN OBSTRUCTION. IF PAIN DEVELOPS THAN GET AN X-RAY BUT IF YOU PASS IT IN YOUR STOOL COMPLETELY THAN YOUR GOOD. IF YOU GET A NEW PARTIAL KEEP IT OUT AT NIGHT ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU MAY BE TOO INTOXICTED OR DON'T WEAR IT WHEN OUT DRINKING.
