Brief Answer:
Maintain oral hygiene, brushing, scaling

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The calculus present over the teeth are the hardened food deposits. These deposits cannot be removed by brushing or by the patient. It needs to be removed by the dentist by scaling using specialised equipments. Nothing to worry, it is not an emergency issue. You can brush your teeth and maintain the oral hygiene till you consult the dentist. Once the covid 19 pandemic subsides, you can consult the dentist and get the teeth cleaned.
I hope I have answered your query.
take care.
