CHIPPED TOOTH: Chipped tooth if swallowed will not cause any problems and it will pass in the feces and for the toothotself you need to see the dentist who can deal with it.

Chipped Tooth: Good news is they would not have been able to put that chip back on your tooth if you had not swallowed it. You need to see your dentist right away before it gets worse. Depending on the size of the chip and where it is in your mouth will determine if your dentist can do a bonding or a crown.
