It builds up on teeth (6)

I believe the answer is:

tartar

(Other definitions for tartar that I've seen before include "A ferocious person" , "Hard, crusty deposit on the teeth" , "For instance, Genghis Khan" , "A sauce to go with fish" , "Crust on teeth or wine deposit" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
