Correct: Mere daant mein dard hai

Daant is masculine. Use mein dard hai for location of pain.

Good to know

Street dentists still appear in some older markets, but city care means a clinic. Offering saunf or a clove after spicy food is a folk comfort for mild daant pain — still see a dentist for real trouble. Saying daant dikhao playfully means "smile for the camera".
