Do mosquitoes have teeth or a mouth?
Yes mosquitoes do have teeth, they are just very different from ours. They have four knife-like tools of serrated teeth that surround a pair of fine tubes one for dripping a pain suppressor and one for sucking blood from our unsuspecting limbs.

About Teeth
Teeth are small, white structures made of calcium that are found in the jaw bone of animals and humans. The shape of an animal's teeth determine what that animal eats. Herbivores eat plants, which are hard to digest. As a result they have a mouth full of molars to grind and chew their food. Carnivores eat meat, so their teeth are designed to kill prey and rip flesh. Humans are omnivores, so we have a little of both.
