You can visit a dental clinic, as most of the clinics follow covid protocols, there is no need to worry about it. Delaying the treatment will lead to more accumulation of plaque and calculus and it will start showing symptoms like bleeding gums, recession of gums, bad breath etc, therefore it is advised to get the cleaning as soon as possible.
