It's hard on your teeth (6)

I believe the answer is:

enamel

(Other definitions for enamel that I've seen before include "Smooth hard paint" , "protective coat" , "protection for canines?" , "Hard shiny surface as on teeth" , "Hard-drying paint" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
