Dreams about teeth, losing your front teeth or your teeth falling on the floor, are very common symbols. Traditional dream analysis associates the dream meaning of teeth with concerns about your image and public perception. To lose teeth, such as two teeth falling out or the loss of a front tooth, is the most popular dream scenario among teeth-related dreams. While there are many nuances to this symbol, in general the meaning of teeth falling out in your dream means you are struggling to communicate.
Aside from envisioning yourself lose your teeth, dreamers also often ask about teeth falling out for a young girl, when your teeth break off in a dream, and what it means when your teeth are breaking in general. Even the specific feelings that you may have encountered during a dream of teeth can be important in dream analysis.
You can dream of ordinary things and routine like a toothpaste in a dream, examining your teeth, touching your teeth, and brushing your teeth. What does it mean to brush your teeth in your dream? This implies hard work and sacrifice. So, if you see food stuck in your teeth in your dream and you take it out with dental floss, it means you are conscientious.
When anxious people dream, they may have reoccuring dreams of teeth falling out. They could dream about a toothache, losing lower teeth, “watching” your teeth falling out, or losing a lot of teeth. When this happens in public, it reveals insecurity about your appearance. For example, if you lose your teeth in front of someone or lose your teeth in a crowd, you worry about embarrassing situations.
In contrast, to admire your teeth or others’ teeth shows confidence. To have new teeth grow back or the feeling of more than one tooth when you glide your tongue in your mouth represents a growing confidence. Which is why the mouth that is actually covering your teeth means you are generally shy.
Culture, religion, and beliefs also contribute to dream analysis. In Western cultures, they dream of the tooth fairy representing self-worth. Meanwhile, religious people ask “What is the biblical meaning of teeth falling out in a dream?” You will also read about other cultures’ belief in the connection between teeth dreams and death or that dreaming of teeth falling out means pregnancy. While some dream symbols and meanings are universal, the nuances and context can change. Current interpretations may differ from ancient meanings of teeth dreams (pre-1930s).
Hospitals, clinics, medical settings as well as health issues can manifest in teeth dreams due to interconnected situations. For instance you might see a doctor because your gums are bleeding, you have bad or rotten teeth, covered in tartar, teeth are loose or wobbly, or that your teeth have fallen out. So what does it mean to see blood on your teeth in your dream or to dream of bleeding teeth? This is often an ill omen of death. Similarly, what does it mean to “spit” out teeth in a dream? Spitting out your teeth indicate a major health problem, so remember to check in on your loved ones.
If you have a pending dental appointment, you might dream of a dentist fixing your teeth, pull your teeth, or get your wisdom tooth or milk teeth taken out. This may reveal your fear about dentists. There are more specific procedures and dream scenarios like when a doctor pulls out your teeth, teeth are being removed by a dentist, dreaming of dentures or that your teeth are being made for you. To dream of false teeth, fake teeth, or dreaming of dentures indicates superficial problems, while teeth modification like having gold teeth predicts prosperity.
You do not have to have dentophobia to dream of teeth, of course. To wear braces in a dream and white teeth falling out are common dream symbols referring to self-image. Meanwhile, dreams of pulling your teeth and to dream of a filling indicate dissatisfaction with some aspect of your current existence.
Dreaming about other people’s teeth is also common. The question, “What does it mean to dream of someone with no teeth?” can refer to useless commentary or gossip. The same is true when you dream of someone you know being toothless or someone else losing their teeth. A woman swallowing a tooth or a man and you swallowing your tooth indicates humiliation. Think before you speak, as they say.
Parents may dream about their child’s teeth. You could tell your child to brush their teeth in your dream or a child loses its teeth. These types of teeth dreams reveal your worries about parenting. If the child has gaps in their teeth or the gaps that are featured are prominent, you probably have problems disciplining your child or they are behaving badly.
In some cases, the teeth you dream about are not human. What does it mean to dream of animal teeth? A dog’s teeth dream scenario, for instance, reveals your suspicions about a relative. A whale’s teeth, squirrel’s teeth, and bird’s teeth can symbolize your fear about the unknown. The same goes for teeth of less domesticated animals like a beaver, walrus, or snake.
If you are prone to self-sabotaging behavior, you could also dream of grinding teeth, crumbling teeth, opening your mouth and your teeth are gone, or that you simply cannot feel the teeth. These instances require introspection to get to the root of the problem.
