Swallowed Gutta Percha stick

2022-04-06 08:46:14
Hi, Yesterday, during the Root Canal Treatment, accidentally one gutta percha stick passed through my throat. The dentist told not worry. It should pass through the stool. Please suggest if there can be any complication because of this. Or it will pass through the stool without causing any problem to the health, as told by the dentist.
