Local Democracy ReporterAn 11-year-old South Derbyshire boy swallowed a "small dental component" while he was sedated during an operation.
The so-called "never event" has been reported by the Derbyshire Community Health Services NHS Foundation Trust.
National guidance says a "never event" is a "serious incident that is wholly preventable" due to stringent safety policies.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe young boy had been having a lower molar tooth "restored" and was sedated and had local anaesthetic for the operation.
During the procedure, the "push button chuck" on a dental hand piece - used to release the drill end - came loose and was swallowed by the patient.
The component is "wafer thin" at less than 1mm thick and about 4 to 5mm in diameter.
The patient was unharmed after the incident in June and his family has not taken the matter further.
The trust says that it has sought to make all necessary changes to avoid this incident being repeated.

Image source, GoogleFriendship lost after council publishes complaint letterpublished at 10:45 British Summer Time 4 July 2019
Amy Orton
Local Democracy ReporterA 20-year friendship came to an abrupt end when a council mistakenly published a letter by a man objecting to his neighbour's planning application for a single garage.
The man, referred to in a report as Mr D, wrote to Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council's planning department objecting to his neighbour's request for planning permission.
Because of the "potentially controversial and emotive" content in his letter, he asked for his name and address to be redacted if it were to be made public.
The authority then wrote to Mr D and his wife - who had also submitted an objection - explaining legal requirements mean all correspondence has to be included in the planning file and asking him to send a second letter.
The council sent an individual letter to each of the couple, stating: "If you still wish your comments to be taken into consideration in the determination of the application, then you must notify the planning office in writing that you withdraw your request for your name and address to be redacted."
Mrs D emailed and withdrew her request, but Mr D did not - and sent a second version with the potentially contentious content removed.
The council added the second letter to the planning file, but in doing so, didn't remove the first one.
When the neighbour viewed the planning file, he was able to read what Mr D had said and could identify him.
Image source, GoogleThe story came to light after details were published about a complaint made to the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman.
The authority apologised for the confusion and said it had since changed the way it stores letters it receives in relation to planning applications.
A council spokesman said: "We welcome the ombudsman’s acknowledgement that we apologised to Mr D as soon as we discovered our mistake and changed our procedures to prevent this from happening again."

Local Democracy ReporterA £367m plan to transform Leicester’s hospitals has been delayed, meaning patients will have to wait even longer for improvements to healthcare.
It had been expected the scheme to make massive changes to Leicester Royal Infirmary, Leicester General Hospital and Glenfield Hospital would be funded via private finance.
But in the spring budget, Chancellor Philip Hammond announced private finance in its current format would no longer be a viable source of funding, which means the work will have to be funded with public money.
Image source, PA MediaThe projects included a new £138m treatment centre at the Glenfield Hospital site, a maternity hospital on the Leicester Royal Infirmary site and a new children’s hospital costing £35m.
John Adler, chief executive of University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, said he was confident the plans would go ahead, but could not say when.
“We need to make sure the hospitals we do have can operate safely until the investment arrives," he said.
“If that means employing more staff and improving the buildings we have then that is what we will do. We cannot compromise patient safety.”
