In general, dreams about losing one’s teeth are common and suggest the dreamer feels powerless or out of control in a real life situation. Here are some more meanings for dreams about teeth: To dream of loose teeth is a warning of untrustworthy friends.

To dream of getting a cavity in your tooth is sometimes a warning that your health is at risk.

The other possible meaning is, you have uttered some false or mean words and those words are coming back to haunt you.

Dreaming about teeth falling out represents feelings of insecurity or inadequacy, and such dreams often occur at transition times in a person’s life. This is because losing your milk teeth is associated with the loss of childhood innocence. The dream could also highlight anxieties about getting older. According to Jung, if a tooth is being pulled out in a woman’s dream, this represents giving birth and in general it has associations with some kind of painful experience or loss that will lead to a new beginning. Animal teeth represent aggression and false teeth concern about self-image.

If you are toothless or see someone without teeth, this suggests loss of effectiveness or feelings about aging. Don’t, however, neglect the possibility that the dream may have been triggered by toothache or a recent trip to the dentist.

If teeth are rotten or decayed in your dream, perhaps you have said something you regret. Spitting out lots of teeth indicates something you need to spit out or admit in waking life.

If you are brushing your teeth in your dream, this may suggest you are experiencing a hard struggle in waking life; it could also, of course, echo your dentist’s plea to take better care of your teeth.

If something is lodged between your teeth, this suggests that a problem which seemed impossible in waking life may be easily resolved.

If one tooth is far larger than the rest of the teeth in your mouth, you may be worried that something in your personal and working life won’t be the success you hoped it would be. Clean teeth or teeth that glisten are linked to strong friendships or financial security.

If the roots of the teeth are featured, you may be thinking about the stability of your waking relationships.

If the roots are healthy, you are satisfied with these, but if the roots are twisted or unhealthy, this suggests concerns in that area of your life. 

Although it might be telling you about a physical pain you are not yet aware of, one of the most recurrent and universal dreams is one in which you lose your teeth. Many psychologists agree that this is a clear sign of fear and insecurity. They usually take place during the transition from one stage of life to another, reflecting your concern for growing up or sex appeal. Ultimately, you are feeling equally as helpless as when you were a kid and lost your baby teeth. Teeth also represent your capacity to respond aggressively, both for defense and for attack. In this interpretation you want to know about the condition of the teeth in the dream (if they are sharp, if they move . . .). On the other hand, growing your teeth is an omen of prosperity of all kinds. Healthy teeth indicate a good physical and mental health. Instead, dirty or damaged ones mean that someone around you is not acting properly. False teeth denote excessive importance to physical appearance.

In a region of Sudan, if a woman smiles by completely showing her teeth it is a bad omen. It symbolizes the jaws of a wild animal that scare the cattle. African sorcerers believe that this dream augurs upcoming prosperity. However, according to popular tradition moving teeth indicate illness or loss of affection. And losing them predicts pain and death. However, if the tooth falls on your hand, it is an opposite omen: you will have a son or will receive good news.

One must, of course, correlate the action and other details of the dream, but as a general guide: false teeth signify unexpected help out of a difficult situation; broken or unusually worn-down teeth are a sign of the deterioration of an important relationship; aching teeth portend family quarrels; a dream of having teeth filled promises good news; having teeth pulled forecasts favorable business or investment opportunities; loose teeth are a warning of untrustworthy friends; if they fell out or you spit them out, it is a sign of a season of financial reverses; decayed teeth mean health problems—see your doctor; even and/or very white and beautiful teeth forecast happiness and prosperity; very long teeth predict legal action; one tooth longer than the others portends sad news; buckteeth augur unexpected travel; bridgework is a suggestion that you should be more meticulous in meeting your obligations; a dream featuring the roots of your teeth is a warning against lending money or gambling; to dream of having a nerve removed predicts a season of good luck; brushing your teeth indicates the clearance of obstacles which have been holding you back, unless one or more bristles get stuck between your teeth, in which case you will still overcome the obstacles but only after continued patient effort; picking your teeth is a warning of false friends in your close circle.

Because teeth are located in the mouth, dreams of teeth have a great deal to do with issues of communication and your ability to process, or “chew on”, the data that you have acquired throughout the day.

If you dream of loosing your teeth, then you are venting your feelings of insecurity, powerlessness, financial stress, or your feelings about the loss or death of a family member.

If you dream of false teeth, then you are processing your feelings about lies, broken promises, and falsities.

If your teeth are strong and white, you feel bold, confident and powerful.

If you dream that someone is showing you their teeth, then this is a sign of aggressiveness and intimidation.

If you dream of flossing or brushing your teeth, then you are polishing up your verbal skills, your presentation, and your communication skills in order to make a good impression. Or, this could be a sign to clean up a communication that went awry that has left a bad taste in your mouth. Consider the feeling tone of this dream to discern the meaning for you.

Hostility or an attack, such as when dream figures deliver “biting words” or “bare their teeth.”

Losing teeth in a dream may reflect words said in haste, or losing the ability to speak candidly.

Because this bony part of the body endures long after death, it has some associations with the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. In this context, losing teeth might equate to losing the will to live or having your personal power taken away.

Rotten teeth equate either to the fear of old age, or someone whose words are filled with so much insincere sweetness that decay in that relationship is inevitable.

Having teeth pulled out represents an end to suffering that is aided by an external force.

Dreaming about teeth is very common in all cultures and age groups. Most dreams about teeth leave people feeling uneasy and anxious. Consider the overall content and context of the dream and note if you are having dental problems before making interpretation. Teeth usually symbolize power and/or control. Animals use their teeth for defense and nourishment and show their teeth when angry. Humans often display similar behaviors. Look and see if you are losing or abusing power and control in any area of your life (especially if you are losing teeth in your dream). Old dream interpretations say that dreaming about teeth is a bad omen that suggest financial difficulties.

If you dream of having false teeth this indicates that you will have unexpected help on a problem.

To dream of rotten teeth shows that you have been telling someone a lie or using your smooth words for getting your own way no matter what.

If your teeth are rotten, crooked, and/or falling out this means that your lies are hurting someone very badly and that you will soon be found out.

If you dream you have swallowed a tooth you will soon have too ‘eat your words’. It becomes much easier to interpret this kind of dream if you think of teeth as representing words. When the dreamer is not the one with the bad teeth you will naturally have to watch out for someone lying to you.

Tö dream you lose a tooth denotes the loss of some friend by death, and that troubles and misfortunes are about to attend you : to the lover, it shows the loss Ots his sweetheart's affection. To dream you cut a new tooth, denotes the birth of a child, who will make a great figure in the world.e dream that you are sending a message by telegraph, signifies that you are about shortly to be engaged in an affair of a perplexing and harassing nature. To dream that you have received a message by telegraph, denotes that yon will be quickly obliged to appear in a court of justice to give evidence in a case of some importance.

False or disembodied teeth portend the breakdown of an important relationship in the dreamer’s life - not necessarily a romantic one.

If the dreamer dreams of aching teeth, this could be a warning of future health problems, possibly involving the teeth but not necessarily. White and beautiful teeth, on the contrary, portend health and happiness.

Broken or decayed teeth imply the need for repair in some department of the dreamer’s life. Look to other symbols in the dream to judge which one.

Dreaming of brushing your teeth implies making major and positive changes in your life. Astrological parallel: Saturn

Symbolic of a person’s words. Colorful teeth symbolize someone who likes to tell fanciful stories. Cracked teeth can symbolize a fear of dying or aging.

Broken teeth can symbolize anguish, mourning, and bitterness in life, Lam. 3:16. Seeing teeth shatter can symbolize God fighting against your enemies, Ps. 3:7

Popularly, teeth are supposed to stand for aggressive sexuality – although more properly they signify the growth process towards sexual maturity. Teeth falling or coming out easily indicates we are aware of going through a form of transition, similar to that from childhood to maturity, or from maturity to old age and helplessness.

If we are anxious about teeth dropping out it suggests there is a fear of getting old and undesirable, or an anxiety about maturing. In a woman’s dream, if the teeth are swallowed this can sometimes signify pregnancy, a wish for pregnancy, or an issue with sex.

(2) False teeth may symbolize insincerity.

(3) Losing teeth may symbolize a feeling of - or fear of- getting old or impotent or losing sexual attractiveness.
