There's certainly personification, since teeth technically cannot be curious. Curiousity is a human tendency, not something teeth can experience on their own.

this site explains the meaning of "figures of speech". the line from the poem refers to what chromosomes look like under a microscope.

figures of speech include similies,metaphors,,allegory,hyperbole,alliteration,personifications etc
well in d sentence,,,
hundred is a hyperbole as it is kind of exaggerated.
curious here is a personification as teeth here r considered as animate.
