My puppy may have swallowed a tooth threader. I know if humans swallow it all if fine. Is my puppy ok. Will she just poop it out?

In some cases (usually cats), it can cause an obstruction but it unlikely if it was just one piece. Monitor Goldie for vomiting, diarrhea or inappetence. If you notice any of the aforementioned symptoms please contact your primary care veterinarian.
