Pourquoi est-ce feminine ?
Dent (tooth) is feminine in French. It derives from Latin "dēns, dentis," which was a third-declension masculine noun. The femininity of "dent" in French likely resulted from the oblique stem "dent-" (from the accusative "dentem") being reinterpreted as the base form in Old French, combined with analogical influence from other body part nouns that were conventionalized as feminine.
