Do armadillos have teeth?

Best Answers

Armadillos have a large number of cheek teeth which are not divided into premolars and molars, but usually have no incisors or canines. The dentition of the nine-banded armadillo is P 7/7, M 1/1 = 32. read more

Interestingly enough, armadillos have no enamel on their teeth (the hard outer covering of a tooth). Since the armadillo’s diet consists mainly of insects, these creatures are not really required to do a lot of heavy chewing. read more

They do not have incisors or molars and the only teeth that they do have are peg shaped molars. These molars do not have the hard white enamel we are used to seeing in other mammals. Armadillos instead have ever growing teeth that are rootless. read more
