Hi @nyita, Please contact your dentist or orthodontist. Or if necessary go to the nearest clinic or emergency department.

I imagine that something that size will come out in your stool eventually, but as a lay person I don't know. This is something that needs the attention of a medical professional.

Thank you so much for your reply. I did go to the ER and they told that exactly, that they think it will go through. Now the woman, a doctor, in the ER said only liquids and to stay on ALERT, if I feel pain of discomfort to return. My problem is i haven't eaten a thing since this morning and with all the water I drank (6 liters now) i think I will feel discomfort. I wonder if I could eat something to avoid this, not eating in my system does equal discomfort and likely pain. So far I do feel something on my stomach but no pain. Thank you again!
