I think you have a tapir crown. they are almost always missing the root.

Yep, JP hit it on the nail.  Florida+looks like a mini mastodon tooth=  probably tapir.

 

Would not be the case here in the midwest... from 'Miocene Tapir From North-Central Kansas' (Richard J. Zakrzewski):

 

''Tapirs are rare in the fossil record of Kansas. Only three occurrences have been reported''
