Can My Tooth Still Be Inside Even After Bowel Movement?

I promise this is not a joke. 2 days ago i swallowed my front tooth (porcelain veneer) and I have looked through 2 stools and have found no sign of the tooth. The DAY AFTER the tooth was swallowed i ate a meal which included certain vegetables. This morning i noticed the same certain vegetables in my stool. Ok here's my question: Can my tooth still be inside me even after the vegetables, which were eaten 24 hours after the tooth was swallowed, have passed? Can certain items pass faster than others?
Please help!!!

Thanks,
Paul

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Don't worry, it is easily passed in stools. if you have doubt then take an x-ray of abdomen, then you will know.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
