It is likely to dissolve in the hydrochloric acid in your stomach. If some of it fails to dissolve, it will still pass harmlessly through your alimentary canal.

The worst that could happen when swallowing a tooth is that you accidentally choke on it. Aside from that, it's not unheard of for people to have swallowed a tooth. If it was recently and you REALLY want it, it should be out in a few hours haha. If not, well, just assume it went down with the ship. ;-)

Swallowing a tooth is not nearly as big a deal as people think it is. The tooth will either disintegrate or you will extract it while defecating (pooping). It will have virtually no effect on you.
