Deposit that forms on the teeth (6)

I believe the answer is:

tartar

(Other definitions for tartar that I've seen before include "Hard, crusty deposit on the teeth" , "Crusty deposits on teeth" , "plaque" , "Deposit that forms on teeth" , "Unmanageable sort" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
