Dental concern (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

decay

'dental concern' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for decay that I've seen before include "Deterioration" , "Rot, perish" , "Decompose or fall into ruin" , "Putrefy" , "Decline, decompose" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
