No. The platypus does not have teeth at all. Male platypuses have a hollow spur behind their rear ankle through which they can deliver a venom powerful enough to kill a dog or cause agonising pain to humans.

How does the snake venom come down to the teeth?

Snake venom is stored in small 'sacs' in the jaw. They are joined to the fang by a short tube. The fangs themselves have a hole running the length of the tooth. When a snake bites its prey, the muscles in the jaw squeeze the sacs, which delivers a dose of venom out of the tips of the hollow fangs.
