"Many rays have jaw teeth to enable them to crush mollusks such as clams, oysters, and mussels."

Stingrays do not have teeth in the traditional sense. Instead, they have specialized grinding plates that they use to crush and grind their food, such as mollusks and crustaceans. These plates are located in the mouth and help them break down their prey before swallowing it.

What happens when a stingray bites?

The most dangerous part of the stingray is the barbed, poisoned tail. The mouth isn't really of much concern. Don't worry though. I have been bitten by a stingray (true story) and it doesn't have any teeth. It's like you took two pieces of sandpaper and pressed them on your hands. Discovering that my hand was not tasty, it spat it out. Nothing to be afraid of.
