Crusty deposit on the teeth (6)

I believe the answer is:

tartar

(Other definitions for tartar that I've seen before include "Crust on teeth or wine deposit" , "ancient Mongolian" , "This sauce often goes with fish" , "Fearsome person: kind of sauce" , "Deposit that forms on teeth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
