If sloths do have teeth they are verry small because they are a part of the toothless mammal family

Their molars are quite large allowing them to chew leaves and they are toothless in front to enable them to strip leaves from limbs.

What is an Edentata?

Edentata is an outdated taxonomic grouping that includes armadillos, sloths, and anteaters. These animals were grouped together based on their shared characteristic of lacking front teeth or having reduced teeth. However, this grouping is no longer used as these animals have been reclassified into different orders based on genetic and morphological data.


What is the Order Edentata?

Edentata (meaning toothless, because the members do not have front incisor teeth or molars, or have poorly-developed molars) is an outdated classification: It mistakenly grouped anteaters, sloths, armadillos, ground sloths, glyptodonts ,pampatheres together with the pangolins and aardvarks. It was subsequently realized that Edentata contained unrelated families and was thus invalid by cladistic standards.
