Good dental hygiene combined with professional methods helps maintain healthy gums and teeth. With the help of personal hygiene, only soft deposits can be cleaned, and mineral deposits cannot be removed at home. Hard plaque accumulates toxins, bacteria and acids that negatively affect the enamel and gums. Over time, this can lead not only to problems in the oral cavity, but also to decreased immunity, heart disease, kidney disease and joint disease. This article discusses the reasons for the appearance of hard plaque on enamel, how it affects health, why it must be removed, and how teeth are cleaned in dentistry.
Disadvantages of Brushing Your Teeth
Every person has noticed: even after thorough cleansing, something still remains on the enamel; the surface is not as smooth as we would like. Already two hours after a home hygiene procedure, a soft plaque appears on the teeth, which consists of saliva proteins, bacteria and microparticles left after eating. There are several reasons for the appearance of tartar:
- incorrect cleaning technique, unsuitable brush or paste;
- a metabolic disorder in which the composition of saliva changes;
- lack of solid food in the diet, especially fresh vegetables, because with their help, teeth are naturally cleaned of plaque during the chewing process.
Over time, calcium salts, which are contained in saliva, begin to accumulate in the soft plaque. Gradually, the plaque hardens and turns into tartar; this leads to bad breath and the development of dental caries. Hard plaque can penetrate the gums, and then serious diseases develop: gingivitis and periodontitis.

The lifestyle of the rich and famous is luxurious and glamorous, but sometimes they just can't break their unpleasant habits. The secrets that stars hide behind closed doors are sometimes surprising. Fans often idealize their idols without seeing who these people really are and what kind of lives they live.
Nowadays, a lot is posted on social networks, but a lot remains behind the scenes. Some celebrities are not worried about the truth coming out, and even make fun of themselves by sharing photos of the chaos in their luxurious homes. Others prefer not to advertise their own sloppiness, but every now and then compromising photographs appear on the Internet.
Many celebrities simply hire assistants and don't learn to clean up after themselves. Some of them have crowds of pets running around the house, some leave cigarette butts in the refrigerator and neglect personal hygiene - they periodically do not wash or brush their teeth. Find out who it's high time Moidodyr went after in our selection of ten dirty celebrities.
1) Megan Fox
Megan Fox is one of the most beautiful women in the world, but according to her friends, she is also one of the messiest! The actress admitted that she is completely unorganized and is not shy about showing her mess to the world. Megan has squirrels and a pet pig, which she wittily named Piggy Jr. All her pets move freely around the house. Fox also admitted that she leaves clothes on the floor as soon as she takes them off, causing her floors to quickly become dirty. Megan also has the unpleasant habit of not flushing the toilet after herself.
2) Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus is not far behind Megan. She also has many pets, which she dotes on and considers family. She owns several dogs and a miniature pig. However, none of her pets are trained to go to the toilet outside, so they leave fragrant surprises for their owner throughout the house.
The singer herself is not very clean. Miley hates washing dirty dishes and doesn't even bother putting them away in the sink. Cyrus's ex-boyfriend, Patrick Schwarzenegger, did not want to visit her because the house was in constant chaos.
3) George Clooney
One can only hope that George changed his habits by marrying the brilliant Amal Alamuddin, but the former eligible Hollywood bachelor was an absolute slob. He may be voted "Sexiest Man Alive," but it's clear he's as sleazy as he is hot. One of his former employees even called him a “dirty pig” because the actor was not shy about burping and passing gas in front of his employees.
He drank alcohol in large quantities and marked his bottles of alcohol to prevent any staff from drinking from them. Now that he has children, there is hardly any free time left to control his whiskey.
4) Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp is one of the most sought-after actors in the world, but his star status does not prevent him from being a rare slob. Often creative people are the most disorganized, which can certainly be said about Johnny. Depp never cleans up after himself and leaves a mess wherever he goes.
In addition, he rarely showers and does not mind wearing the same clothes for weeks. It remains a mystery how he won the hearts of the first Hollywood beauties.
5) Britney Spears
Oops, Britney did it again. Spears is so sloppy that employees have complained about her more than once. Her maid and bodyguard spoke about the pop star's disgusting habits. The singer is accused of failing to observe basic hygiene - she has not washed for days. In addition, he throws clothes all over the house, leaves dirty dishes under furniture and refuses to clean up after himself. If Britney doesn't have to work, she doesn't brush her teeth or use deodorant.
6) Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay was once incredibly popular for her roles in teen films. She squandered her fortune after 20 years and was always a sloppy drunk. She smokes a lot at home, not worrying about the smell of cigarette smoke that permeates her entire home. She doesn't clean up after herself and puts her things anywhere. Her house is literally littered with clothes, shoes and bags.
According to recent reports, her tiny Soho apartment had so many clothes piled up that she had to hire people to sort through and organize the items.
7) Kristen Stewart
Kristen Stewart is known for her unkempt appearance, moodiness, and bad girl reputation. There is also a lot of talk around her personal life. The Hollywood star is a heavy smoker. It's hard to catch her without a cigarette in her hand.
The actress's former maids said she smoked like a locomotive and threw cigarette butts all over the house, including the shower, plants and even the refrigerator.
Russian celebrities also relax and forget about the star status of their home. Our stars do not lag behind their Western colleagues, posting their photos against the backdrop of cluttered apartments, creative chaos and other disgrace.
Ani Lorak
Ani Lorak tries not to advertise unpleasant facts about herself, but recently she herself gave rise to gossip by posting a couple of photos on the Internet, the background of which she did not pay attention to. But Internet users immediately noticed the terrible chaos reigning in the house of the famous singer. Of course, fans paid attention primarily to the excellent shape in which Ani is, but lovers of cleanliness and armchair criticism immediately attacked the celebrity with accusations of sloppiness.
9) Alena Vodonaeva
Alena Vodonaeva, on the contrary, is not at all shy about creative disorder and cluttered rooms. It seems that she is so confident in herself that she is ready to share selfies taken with any background with her fans.
10) Anastasia Volochkova A big fan of the expensive-rich style and royal interiors “in marble and gold,” she sometimes posts photos that run counter to her aristocratic image. In some of them, the rooms of the dancer’s gigantic mansion look more like a cramped, cluttered one-room apartment.
Why do you need professional treatment?
When soft plaque begins to mineralize, only a professional can get rid of hard deposits on the enamel. The appearance of bad breath, bleeding gums, itching - all this may indicate the presence of tartar, which the dentist finds during examination. In these cases, professional cleaning is recommended to prevent the development of gum and tooth diseases.
At the first stage of professional procedures, teeth are cleaned with ultrasound, which destroys hard plaque. Additionally, hand tools are used to remove any remaining mineral deposits. At the third stage, the enamel surface is polished; This procedure is necessary to protect teeth from the formation of new stone on them.
Types of professional cleaning
In order to detect tartar in time, you need to visit the dental office once every 6 months. The doctor will examine the oral cavity and prescribe a procedure for removing hard plaque depending on the individual characteristics of the patient. In dentistry, three main methods are used to clean enamel from mineral deposits:
- chemical method;
- laser plaque removal;
- Ultrasonic cleaning of teeth from stone.
Ultrasound removal of hard plaque is carried out using a special device that removes plaque from the surface of the enamel, as well as stone formed under the gum. This is the most common method of professional teeth cleaning. With the laser method, the mineral deposits are removed layer by layer, and then the destroyed stone is removed with a stream of air and water.
Chemical cleaning of teeth from tartar is carried out as follows: a special paste or gel is applied to the surface of the enamel, which is washed off with water after a few minutes. These products contain acids and alkalis that destroy dental plaque. At the final stage, the enamel surface is polished and then treated with a strengthening agent.
What not to do after a dental procedure
After procedures performed in the dental office, tooth enamel becomes thinner; it will take about three weeks to recover. At this time, it is necessary to follow a certain regime.
After brushing your teeth with ultrasound, you should not:
- eat food with artificial, natural dyes;
- smoke to avoid irritating your gums;
- drink alcoholic beverages, coffee, strong tea.
After professional treatment, the doctor prescribes an antimicrobial gel and, if necessary, a soothing medicine for the gums. For the first time after the procedure, it is better to use a soft brush. Then it is recommended to include fresh vegetables in your diet. Chewing apples, carrots, and cabbage helps strengthen gums and removes food debris from hard-to-reach places.
Competent home care will prolong the effect of ultrasonic and mechanical methods. When asked about professional teeth cleaning: how often should it be done, doctors recommend doing it once every six months. The frequency of this procedure may vary depending on the individual characteristics of the patient and the condition of the oral cavity.
