Never use your teeth as tools for anything other than chewing food. A very tiny piece should pass without any issues.

You would have cut your lip or tongue in this situation and known about it. You probably spit it out, if swallowed, a tiny piece would pass through your system. Always keep tweezers handy, and use your teeth to eat and smile, you could chip your teeth in future with this method.
