This looks far more like a horn coral or plant segment than tooth to me.  Long shot would be more of a horn than tooth, but the striation yells coral.  Lack of a tooth root and a ridge line would indicate to me there never was such a structure.  I think we all see tooth at first glance, but the pattern is wrong to me.

I agree definitely not a tooth, the surface is all wrong, you may want to change the title to get some people who are better at identifying corals.
