Frogs have teeth to hold their prey. They swallow their food whole and do NOT chew. The set on the roof of the mouth are called vomerine teeth and the teeth around the edges of the mouth are called maxillary teeth.

∙ 8y agoFrogs are carnivores and, not only do they catch and eat insects, but they even catch tiny mammals such as bats, so they need teeth to help them grip larger prey. Frogs do not use their teeth for chewing, but for gripping the food. Frogs' eyes actually push down into their heads to help with the swallowing process. They use the muscles attached to the roof of their mouth which also happens to be attached to the bottom of their eyes.
Helps break food into smaller pieces so it is easier to digest.
To hold down prey
Frogs teeth function as grips to keep the prey of the frog inside the mouth. They work with the tongue to work the prey toward the throat.
The purpose of a frog's teeth are to hold it's prey in place, while it swallows it's meal whole
To bite things.
