The question was never asked, but we appear to have a name for the setting as a whole!

Calledron's 4,000 mile length subtends a 7.5 degree angle at the sun
The teeth, in proportion to the skull for real crocs, would be 150 miles high for the canines, and maybe 10-15 miles for the other teeth (twice the height of Everest)

Crocodiles don't have canine teeth. They do have some tooth differentiation, but not like a mammal.

I've been looking at photographs of crocodile skull replicas for sale. I've got one with an 890px skull. The longest tooth in the upper jaw on it is 69px, with the second longest measuring 63px. the shortest is 23px.

By those numbers the largest teeth are 310 miles high, and the shortest 103 miles. The earth is pretty smooth, all things considered. Of course, the challenge of Everest is the atmosphere and weather, and I don't think those challenges apply to the teeth, though they will be quite wet, and take a lot of work to ascend.
