Why is it masculine?
Dientes is masculine because it derives from the Latin "dentem" (accusative of "dens"), which belonged to the third declension masculine nouns in Latin, a gender that was generally preserved when Spanish evolved from Latin. Like many Latin third-declension nouns ending in -em, it retained masculine gender in the Romance languages despite its modern Spanish -e ending.
