well gold is poisonous. The ancients would swallow it to commit suicide. However, your gold cap is probably 10K or less (because those are stronger and are used for teeth) and won't bother you at all. However, you will "pass" it soon. I'd just let it go and flush it. Why on earth would you want a gold tooth? It's so 1970's ghetto.

This too shall pass. It will not be digested. It will not poison you. If it's a full gold crown and you don't want to disinfect and re-cement, at least ask for metal credit (even a gold alloy is expensive)

It may be uncomfortable, irritating, and freaky, but it is not dangerous. Your body will eventually cause it to be expelled through the normal digestive processes. Don't worry about it. You'd be surprised at some of the things people swallow accidentally!

Sorry to hear about your misfortune, just wait for it to pass, find it, use a old toothbrush to scrub it ( yes this is not something anyone would want to do ) throw out the toothbrush. Take your crown to the dentist and explain the situation, they will sterilize it and recement it. This happens. Don't panic, and all will be fine. good luck

Ok, no jokes about gold rings.
It depends how sensitive the metal detector at the airport is.
If nothing else you'll get a good frisking :-)

Gold in the little proportion is harmless

no, if it hasn't yet passed, it soon will. But if its been more than 48 hours, you've already passed it
