Sugar gliders have numerous sharp teeth and like any other animal can bite. However, they will usually only bite if they are panicky and if they do it is not usually very serious.

Sometimes they will nip you to get attention and this behavior should not be encouraged. As they bond more with you nipping and biting will decrease and a well adjusted sugar glider should not give you a problem.

This type of behavior is further discussed in Gloria Steiner's book (check the link) and I highly recommend it for new suggie owners.

How do sugar gliders get their food?

Sugar gliders have very keen senses. They can see in the dark and also smell their prey. After tracking the bird, insect, or small mammal, gliders pounce and use their sharp claws and teeth to attack the animal and rip and tear their prey quickly. Meat makes up about 50% of this omnivore's diet.
