Hard deposit on the teeth (6)

I believe the answer is:

tartar

(Other definitions for tartar that I've seen before include "Crusty deposits on teeth" , "Cold sauce, popular with fish" , "A sauce to go with fish" , "ancient Mongolian" , "Crust on teeth or wine deposit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
