instruction: hello doctor a guy on youtube has videos of how he regenerated his teeth by mixing trisodium phosphate with baking soda and water he says he spits out mixture and not to swallow is this even possible or safe especially since dental work is so expensive
output: hi welcome to icliniq com I appreciate you for such an interesting question on dental health talking about the two chemical components separately baking soda is found to be a great alternative in whitening the teeth as it has mild abrasive quality it is also found that baking soda has seven on the da scale radioactive denting abrasion compared to the regular toothpaste which ranges 200 300 just a sprinkle of it on the toothpaste in your regular brushing helps in whitening the teeth but this is not proved on the papers by research coming to trisodium phosphate it is one of the ingredients present in less percentage in the toothpaste which is chemically basic and removes stains but it is a commercial agent used as degreaser and stain remover otherwise the problem using these chemicals in dental cleaning is that you will not be sure how much percentage of the active chemical components you expose on the tooth surfaces in the did do it yourself project these might see effective but lack of studies and research making it unsuitable for daily usage no standardization therefore not used as commonly as a toothpaste also continuous and prolonged exposure of these on the teeth might end up in roughness of the enamel and a hence weaker teeth I hope this helps
