No, crabs do not have teeth in the sense that most people think. They have tooth-like structures in their stomachs in a chamber called the gastric mill which performs food processing, just like the teeth in your mouth. Unlike your teeth, the teeth in a crab's gastric mill are not made of bone, but of a material called chitin, which is the same material that makes up most of a crab's shell.
