The calcium deposits as part of plaque formation, so cleaning the teeth will reduce places for the calcium to attach. The enzymatic toothpastes are great for that.
Do you have hard water? Hard water contains more calcium than soft water, so maybe changing the source of your dog's drinking water might help. Our dogs, and the humans too, drink water from a reverse osmosis filter that hides under the sink.
Ask your Vet. about learning how to scale the dog's teeth at home. It can be done, but if done wrong it can damage the dog's teeth.
