Dreams Of Losing Teeth   By J. Foley

There are many theories about just what teeth, and losing teeth, represent in the dream world, and these can be some of the most difficult dreams to interpret. One theory holds that dreams about teeth, and losing teeth, are a reflection of the dreamer's anxiety about his or her appearance, and about how the dreamer thinks others perceive him or her, since a good set of teeth play an important role in physical beauty, it is easy to see how uncertainties about one's appearance could manifest themselves in dreams about losing teeth. 

Since teeth play such an important role in physical attraction scenarios, such as flirting and getting the attention of the opposite sex, dreams of losing teeth can be manifestations of fears of getting old, fears of sexual performance or other dating related anxieties. People who are troubled by dreams of losing teeth or teeth falling out should examine their own lives for the source of possible embarrassment or appearance based anxieties. 

People who feel frustrated, or who feel that their voices are not being heard, may have dreams about losing teeth. Feeling ineffective, or feelings of inferiority, are often associated with such dreams as well. 

The ancient Greeks believed that dreams about loose, rotting or missing teeth were warnings that a close friend or family member was very ill or near death. The Chinese hold that teeth falling out is a punishment for lying, and that dreams of falling teeth are manifestations of guilt over telling lies.

Other interpretations of dreams of losing teeth hold that they are representations of fear of embarrassment or making a fool of oneself.  For instance, someone who is dreading a potentially embarrassing situation, such as making a speech or other public speaking engagement, may dream of his or her teeth falling out. This type of dream would represent an exaggeration of already present fears or anxieties brought on by the upcoming event. 

One biblical interpretation of the dream of losing teeth holds that the bad teeth mean the dreamer is placing his or her faith in the works of man rather than in the word of God, thus the falling teeth in the dream are urging the dreamer to turn back to God for guidance. 

Some have even suggested that dreams of missing teeth are associated with money. This connection probably goes back to the old tooth fairy story, where children are rewarded with money for putting their lost teeth under their pillows. 

Another theory holds that teeth in dreams represent power, since they are used in real life to tear, chew, and bite.  Therefore, the loss of teeth in a dream represents a perceived loss of power or influence.

Dreams about teeth, particularly dreams where the dreamer finds his or her teeth falling out, are much more common than you might think. Understanding the world of dreams Dreams provide us with a fascinating glimpse into the subconscious world, and many people see dream interpretation as a way to diagnose and treating their real world problems.

Thanks. I found this useful. I had a dream that my bottom back teeth were breaking loose in my mouth so that I had to spit out bits of tooth like glass. When I looked in the mirror (in my dream) I could not open my mouth wide enough to see inside, but I did manage a glimpse of bloody jagged remnants of teeth. totally unnerving. I can see some issues you mention above that could pertain to the dream, more than one in fact. I have perfect teeth by the way. I connect most strongly with the interpretation of frustration and not feeling heard...inferiority. Thanks again. J

The dream of losing a tooth is perhaps the most common dream a normal human being can experience. I've had them since time immemorial. Most of them are just random dreams. But sometimes a dream seems to be sending a message to me. Of course, I'm not a psychic so I couldn't tell which one is which, LOL.
