I'm a reptile guy and was wondering if any amphibians have teeth.

amphibians dont have any real teeth, but frogs like the pac man can pack a very hurtful bite.

I don't care about like getting bit by a pet. I was wondering scientifically if amphibians have any teeth.

As i said previously, they don't have teeth in the sense of like a cat or dogs teeth.

One of the defining physical characteristics of amphibians is the presence of vomerine "teeth". Vomerine teeth are rough pads on the roof and base inside their mouths. Cheers.

an amphibean has pedicelate teeth which are two part teeth...the guy who said amphibeans don't have teeth is very wrong...i beleive only true toads lack teeth altogether. pacman frogs have teeth in only one jaw so the other jaw has bony bumps on the actual jaw, not true teeth...these are covered in skin but can still hurt. Pacmans also have the vomerine teeth previously mentioned
