Hey ur ans is below!
Vomerine teeth
The function of the vomerine teeth is prey-oriented, specifically to grip onto food in conjunction with their tongues. Frogs' tongues and vomerine teeth operate as a team to stop prey animals from being able to flee. The vomerine teeth are notably pointy and appear in pairs of tiny clusters on their mouths' roofs. The mucous membranes conceal the vomerine teeth, but not in their entirety.
maxillary teeth
Frogs also have maxillary teeth on the top parts of their jaws. These teeth cannot be seen from the outside of frogs' mouths. As far as outline and size go, maxillary teeth are all pretty similar to one another. Like the vomerine teeth, the maxillary teeth also serve to keep prey under control until frogs are ready to tuck in and eat, which usually happens pretty swiftly.
Hope it helps you :)
