Your body was already built with this hack! The ancient Romans used their own urine for both toothpaste and mouthwash. While this might sound like a bad idea, urine is high in ammonia, which fights cavities. Your body doesn't have any use for this, so it gets rid of it through your urine.

Definitely don't swallow your urine; this will probably do nothing in the near term but if you do it repeatedly it can cause all sorts of bad things to happen with your kidneys.

Note that this will make your breath smell a bit. If you're going to do this around other people, you may want to pop a breath mint or at least gargle some water afterwards. The Romans had different cultural views on the scent of urine, and so that wasn't an issue for them.
