    My 5yr old son most probably swallowed his milk tooth.He was eating corn frm the cob and after sometime i noticed blood on d cob.I realized his tooth ws gone...i tried searching for it and also asked my son if he hd swallowed it.But he told me he doesnt knw if it has gone into his stomach. Tis scares me...i hope its not harmful

    For a tooth's enamel to be broken down, it has to be exposed to acid repeatedly over a relatively long period of time. A strong acid attack can demineralise and erode the enamel structure, but the process is long and slow. Out of the whole 24hr digestion cycle, food (or anything swallowed) is in the areas of extreme acidity only for about 6 hours.

    The tooth (when swallowed) won't remain in the GI tract for the amount of time required to be completely broken down. It will be excreted in the next few hours.
