I would recommend 10% trifluoroacetic acid for teeth.  The procedure is 
printed in "The Journal of Histotechnology/ Vol. 25, No. 3, September 2002. 
Article titled "Processing the Complete Canine Tooth".

I just received some teeth to section can anyone tell me if I can just
use any decalcification solution or is there something special to do
with teeth?  These are from a calf and it has been over 20 years since I
took class for histology and in the back of my mind I seem to remember
that you need to do something different.
