Yes, Pennywise definitely has teeth, often depicted as multiple rows of sharp, dagger-like teeth that appear when he reveals his true predatory nature, especially in the modern films where actor Bill Skarsgård wore prosthetic teeth that sometimes caused drooling, enhancing his monstrous look. The creature's true form involves a giant maw with these razor-sharp teeth, used to devour victims, and even in his clown form, his grin stretches unnaturally to show them.
King has often written about teeth filed to cannibal points and that's just how Pennywise uses his. In his introductory scene in "It," the clown grabs Georgie's arm and then distends his jaw to reveal several rows of dagger-sharp teeth.

It's subjective, but many find the 2017 version scarier due to gore, modern effects, and Bill Skarsgård's more sinister Pennywise, while the 1990 miniseries is often seen as creepier for its psychological dread and Tim Curry's iconic performance, though some find the original less frightening now due to dated effects and music. Ultimately, the 2017 film is often considered more intense, but the 1990 version's atmosphere and Curry's menace stick with viewers, making the "scarier" choice depend on personal preference for horror styles (jump scares/gore vs. psychological dread).
