Turtles like most lizards have a beak like mouth that cuts like scissors. This is used to grab and rip their food rather than chew it.
Why the thumbs down for a correct answer?
Care sheets are free on my web site for turtles, sliders and tortoise.

No & Yes

They don't have teeth they have a beak. Cuttle bone offered keeps their beaks from growing outta hand the same as a bird.

Soft bodies were covered by a bony shell, with an oval shaped skull and beaked mouth;

however

early turtles had teeth and had not yet evolved a way of pulling their heads into their shells.
