"Long in the tooth" is a colloquialism which means "old" or "worn out".
It is derived from the idea that elderly people and some animals such as horses and dogs tend to experience gingival recession as they age. The gums tend to recede up the tooth, exposing more of the tooth, hence, 'long in the tooth'.
Anything that is considered old fashioned, outdated or overused can be called "long in the tooth".
