What happens if you swallow a tooth or a chip of it?!


Question:

What happens if you swallow a tooth or a chip of it?

I recently chipped a tooth and remember crunching on it and realizing later what it was, I didnt get it fixed, a year later I was eating again and a biggerchunk fell out and I think I've swallowed it. Anyway, now my heart beat is irregular, or is that just anxiety?


Answers:

Even if you swallowed a whole tooth, it wouldn't change anything except that you have one less tooth. Kids swallow teeth and their fine. It just passes through your system. No harm.

You should go to your doctor to get your heart checked out though. You don't want to mess around when your heart doesn't feel normal.
