This elderly man’s unexpected brushing routine has everyone cracking up. He has a particular and surprising thing he does when it comes to keeping his pearly whites clean and healthy. Watch the short and hysterical clip to hear the man explain what he does to keep his teeth in tip-top shape.

Being healthy includes paying attention to the state of one’s teeth, gums and mouth. Regularly seeing a dentist, while it’s not and never will be fun, is necessary. Dental problems, if continually ignored and left unaddressed, will only multiply, worsen and become considerably more severe. That makes sense and seems simple, right? But you and I both know people who, for some reason, believe that if a problem is ignored, it doesn’t exist.

While making regular trips to the dentist is essential, there are additional steps we can take to maintain healthy teeth and gums. Regularly and frequently brushing should be a no-brainer and a part of one’s hygiene routine at this point. Of course, when it comes to brushing, a toothbrush and a tube of toothpaste are all that most people need. However, the man in this hysterical YouTube video is not like everyone else. He requires other things to accomplish the task.

In the clip, he explains, with great detail, what he does and uses for his dental health. He notes that his brushing routine varies significantly depending on the time of day.

“You ask me what kind of toothpaste I use,” the man says to the individual behind the camera. “I use two kinds. One I buy, and the other one, I make myself. At night, I use the toothpaste I buy. In the morning, I use my own make.”

Later in the clip, he states what goes into the toothpaste that he makes.

“I use vinegar and Listerine – half and half,” he said. “I use that to brush my teeth in the morning. Because I notice when I eat vinegar, my gum, they get nice and hard. So, why not use vinegar to wash the teeth? Mix with Listerine.”

I’m not a dental professional and have no idea whether his logic makes any sense or if his concoction would actually work. However, I must say that I have never heard a dentist recommend using vinegar to brush one's teeth before.

Song of Solomon 4:2 “Your teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof everyone bears twins, and none is barren among them.”
