no, mammals are not the only ones with teeth, there is also alligators and crocs, sharks, dolphins, some fish.

Another way to read the question is - do mammals have teeth only?

The answer is no - some mammals have just a long, sticky tongue for catching ants and termites. Echidnas, for example, do not have teeth. Some mammals such as the platypus have grinding plates instead of teeth.

Which mammal has the fewest teeth?

The land mammal with the fewest teeth is the armadillo. It has just a few peg-like molars. However, apart from some mammals which have no teeth at all (such as anteaters, echidnas and platypuses), the mammal with the fewest teeth is the narwhal. A marine mammal, the narwhal has just two teeth. These teeth are not inside the narwhal's mouths, but are buried in their upper jaws in both males and females. Only one tooth is visible, and that is the left tooth of the male, which can grow to around 2.4 metres.
