I venture to guess that they have no teeth at all. the tube they insert into your flesh that acts like a hypodermic needle provides for acquiring their nutrition which of course is blood and liquid that requires no chewing or tearing whatsoever.

I don't think mosquitos, or any insects have teeth.

LOL! I didn't know that they even have any tooth. I thought they feed through that long straw like thing that is attached to its mouth. Therefore, they do not actually bite but they actually inject you when they are feeding. That's what I thought and since biology is not one of my favorite subjects, I really have no idea....
