I swallowed my spacer, what do I do now?
I will be seeing my Orthrodonic dentist in two weeks for my follow up visits. I was going to have my spacer removed and be fitted for bands. However, today when I was eating I accidental swallowed the spacer. It came off and I did not notice until it was too late. What do I do? Do I just wait out the two weeks for my next appointment or try and get in sooner for a new spacer in the mean time?

I would just call your dentist and see what they advise you to do. If they suggest for you to come in sooner the you can make an appointment to do so. If they say do not worry about it and just come in at your current appointed date. Then it takes the stress of worrying over it for two weeks.

I would not worry to much about it. You are going to see your dentist in two weeks anyway. You could call your dentist if you want to make sure.
