Don't worry: Don't worry. This happens frequently and is not a problem. The tooth fairy can still find this tooth.

I wouldn't worry: In over 40 years of dental practice I have never seen or heard of any problems with this occurring.

No problem: It passes through just like the bug they ate when younger.
