Dental deposit (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

tartar

plaque

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tartar that I've seen before include "She terrifies" , "Fearsome person: kind of sauce" , "Cold sauce, popular with fish" , "Deposit that forms on teeth" , "Hard, crusty deposit on the teeth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Times.
