I accidentally swallowed remnants of food in my mouth when I was fasting. Does this invalidate my fast?
No. If it is accidental then it does not invalidate the fast. It is hence a good practice for one to brush teeth (and flossing, and using mouthwash) after sahur to prevent such things from happening. However, if the swallowing is intentional, then the fasting is nullified (even if it was the smallest chilli flake from last night's pizza).
