Hi there. If it is not causing any discomfort then not to worry much about it except the fact that you would need a new cap!! Ànd that's what may pinch you and what you would remember most about this ordeal. If you have some difficulty in breathing or keep getting cough you may need X rays to see where it is stuck. As long as it's gone into your gut and comes out without any issues you'd be ok. Meet up with your Dental Specialist to fix up your tooth though, don't leave it unattended.
