According to the Moh's scale of hardness, tooth enamel rates a 5; about the same as the mineral apatite, and less than feldspar or quartz.
However, it's likely that the combination of materials in a tooth gives it a greater structural strength than its middling hardness would indicate. While human jaws can generate only about 80 lbs. of bite force, the jaws of crocodilians and sharks have had bite forces measured in tons. For a tooth to be able to stand up to that kind of pounding, it must be strong indeed.
they can be as hard as a rock
They are almost as hard as rocks. The are considered a five hardness so that means about the same hardness as apatite. (a mineral)
Enamel, it is the hardest substance in the human body.

No, dog teeth do not fall out and regrow like human teeth. Dogs have two sets of teeth in their lifetime: baby teeth, which fall out and are replaced by permanent adult teeth.
