Probably had broken edge of tooth
Hello doc... While I was having food today, there came a crunch like sound( sound which comes when we bite some hard substance) as if there is some hard thing which seemed v minute in size... I thought that there is nothing And I ate it then... I didn't check... After having food I realised that it could be a v minute part of my tooth, as an edge of one of my tooth seemed broken... and that broken edge is very minute... I'm worried now ... What to do ? Will it come out on its own??

Don’t panic. Because it’s a minute piece there is seldom pain. U just need to visit a dentist and get the chipped tooth reconstructed with composite.

Treat the tooth that is broken. Nothing to worry about the piece that you swallowed.

Don’t worry if it’s very minute. Just get the fractured end finished and polished
