Dreams that your teeth are falling out are the most common dreams we here at Dream Moods receive. Common dream scenarios include having your teeth crumbling in your hands or your teeth falling out one by one with just a light tap. Such dreams are not only horrifying and shocking, but often leaves the dreamer with a lasting image of the dream. So what does it mean?
One theory is that dreams about your teeth reflect your anxiety about your appearance and how others perceive you. Sadly, we live in a world where good looks are valued highly and your teeth play an important role in conveying that image. Teeth are used in the game of flirtations, whether it be a dazzling and gleaming smile or affectionate necking. These dreams may stem from a fear of your sexual impotence or the consequences of getting old. Teeth are an important feature of our attractiveness and presentation to others. Everybody worries about how they appear to others. Caring about our appearance is natural and healthy.
Another rationalization for these falling teeth dream may be rooted in your fear of being embarrassed or making a fool of yourself in some specific situation. These dreams are an over-exaggeration of your worries and anxiety.
Teeth are used to bite, tear, chew and gnaw. In this regard, teeth represent power. And the loss of teeth in your dream may be from a sense of powerlessness. Are you lacking power in some current situation? Perhaps you are having difficulties expressing yourself or getting your point across. You feel frustrated when your voice is not being heard. You may be experiencing feelings of inferiority and a lack of self-confidence in some situation or relationship in your life. This dream is an indication that you need to be more assertive and believe in the value of your own opinion.
In the latest research, it has been shown that women in menopause have frequent dreams about teeth. This may be related to getting older and/or feeling unattractive and less feminine.
Traditionally, it was thought that dreaming that you did not have teeth, represent malnutrition which may be applicable to some dreamers.
Other Perspectives
A scriptural interpretation for bad or falling teeth indicate that you are putting your faith, trust, and beliefs in what man thinks rather than in the word of God. The bible says that God speaks once, yea twice in a dream or a vision in order to hide pride from us, to keep us back from the pit, to open our ears (spiritually) and to instruct and correct us.
In the Greek culture, when you dream about loose, rotten, or missing teeth, it indicates that a family member or close friend is very sick or even near death.
According to the Chinese, there is a saying that your teeth will fall out if your are telling lies.
It has also been said that if you dream of your teeth falling out, then it symbolizes money. This is based on the old tooth fairy story. If you lose a tooth and leave it under the pillow, a tooth fairy would bring you money.

That is a very common dream to have. Our dreams are our subconcious playing as we sleep. We often times dream about things that are troubling us , sometimes our dreams indicate that we have health problems. I one time dreamed that I could not swallow and I pulled something out of my throat that was obstructing it. One year later, I was diagnosed with an enlarged thyroid which was making swallowing difficult.
Think about what is going on in your life. What is troubling you? Is there any particular thing that is really pressing you right now?
An interpretation in the dream dictionary says that it can forewarn bad health or a business being in jeopardy, BUT that may not be accurate because everyone is different. I used to have that dream as a small child and I lived in a an abusive environment. I believe that my dream indicated some insecurities about myself.
Write down everything that is troubling you, everything that you have seen or heard that you can think of, what were you watching on television and so on. Are you insecure?Think about those things and the dream will start making sense. Think about where you are at in the dream and think about who is in the dream with you.
I am slowly learning that we are the only ones that can truly interpret our dreams because we are the only ones that know about our lives

I don't know anything about dream but I'll give it a try :). Well, teeth fall out at three points in your life. 1. when you little and your growing in your teeth. 2. When you eat to much junk food and do not brush your teeth. 3. When you old. Maybe you have a fear of getting older and losing you teeth.

If you have a dream that your teeth fall out, you might want to look into the details of your dream, the things youdon't notice as much, but it proably means that when you get old your teeth will fall out, or that something in your life that you can hardly live with out will be falling out of your life soon.
Hope it helps!

Dreams are your sub-conscious thoughts. Maybe you have a fear of your teeth falling out.Or maybe you fear some one else's teeth falling out. Also, are you able to talk, in your dream, once your teeth are out? Maybe you know a secret that you want to tell but afraid that it might hurt some one. These are just some ideas of why you are having the same dream.

Soda and the acid in sports drinks destroy your teeth.

It Could be that you are still a little bitty kid and your teeth ARE falling out.
