It's a bone, you'd potentially break or chip your teeth, but if swallowd it would have the same affect basically of swallowing any bone structure I woul dimagine.
"Bones and teeth (which are just specialized bones), belong to the hard connective tissues group, along with cartilage. Bones are made by a process known as ossification. Cells called osteoblasts lay down a cartilage template that gets filled with calcium and phosphorus in the area between the cells called the extracellular matrix. When they are done depositing these minerals, the osteoblasts become osteocytes, mature bone cells. The hard matrix that surrounds them now becomes what we call our bones and teeth. Teeth have an additional covering of enamel which is harder than actual bone. "

If the enamel wasn't present on the tooth, and the tooth was loaded with decay, it could be chewed... and it would go though your system like anything else would.

Weird!! Who would want to eat teeth anyway??? They would pass right through if you swallowed it and thats a nasty thought in itself.
