Mosquitoes 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. A common house mosquito (Culex sp.) stabs the skin with her sharp snout and saws in with her four knife tools to draw blood. She shoots in saliva laced with anesthetic (to escape notice) and an anticoagulant (to keep blood flowing). Then she sucks blood

The average mosquito has 47 teeth - but it's the mosquito's sharp proboscis that'll make you itch.
The proboscis, which looks like a really long, pointy nose, is the female mosquito's rather effective tool for sharing your blood supply

A mosquito does not have any teeth. It has a proboscis which acts both as stinger and as a drinking tube.

no teeth, just a sharp, strawlike mouth that gets coated in an anisthetic like goo as it sticks out out and rams it into your skin
