You can always give a lump of cooked rice instead of water. As long as it goes into the digestive system there’s no much harm.
Next Steps
Wait and watch. Make the child run around to ease digestion.

Hi, There is nothing to worry, will pass out in his stool. Keep a watch either way. If he feels discomfort then visit a physician and may be take a chest x-ray if necessary.

Most probably it will come out in morning stool. But keep a check. If any problem arises, do visit a local Physician for physical evaluation and treatment (if required).

In most instances, the swallowed tooth will pass on its own without causing harm. Since teeth are mostly made up of Calcium, they will get digested by the stomach or pass through the digestive system with no issues within 24 to 48hrs.
Next Steps
Monitor For Symptoms: For the next several days, be vigilant for any signs of discomfort, changes in bowel movements, or the symptoms mentioned above. If so, visit doctor.
Health Tips
Don't try to induce vomiting or take any laxatives to speed this process.
