Swallowed Gutta Percha stick
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.

Hello
It's understandable that you're worried, but the gutta percha is made of natural organic substances. It will pass in a day or two.
