Calculus is formed when “plaque” (that film on your teeth) has not been removed for a while. The plaque is calcified in areas that are difficult to brush and by glands that secrete calcium heavy saliva. The most typical areas for calculus to form is on the cheek side of the upper molars and behind the from teeth.

Despite his best efforts the calculus formed and can be seen below. Obviously, the only one that can removed this deposit is a hygienist or a dentist.
