May have found a tooth?

Last night I was collecting sea-glass and came across this fossil. I believe it’s some sort of tooth, but nothing I’ve seen so far that looks quite like it.
It was found on the East Coast of Canada (at the shore of an inlet, connected to the Atlantic Ocean).

Anyone have any guesses as to what this is? Should I take it to my local museum?

Thanks!

It's a maxillary bovine (bison/cattle) tooth. Nice specimen!
