dent — TOOTH

[don(t)] (n. f.) All your life, the dentist's been telling you what? To brush your teeth after every meal and use dental floss each night. But there's a stubborn kid inside you and now you've reached retirement age and they want to give you dentures to celebrate. All those dent-words have to come from somewhere and, that's right, dent is the French word for tooth. Now go take care of them.
