Tried that, 2 visits to emergency vet for gastrointestinal upset, pain, bowel obstruction. Visit to regular vet for broken tooth (not a clean break) required an extraction under general anesthesia.
Plus it’s a myth that bones clean teeth, not true and not worth the risk.

PS: About the nail clipping, some dogs tolerate it, and with other dogs it is best to have a vet tech do it every couple of months. Usually they don’t charge that much if you are a regular client.
I find if dogs are walked/run on pavement at least 20 minutes per day it will decrease the need and frequency for nail clippings.
