I don't know where this originated from but it's an old saying that means you are barely hanging on to life or what ever. Like just making it,at the end of the rope so to speak.

It is a reference from the bible (Job) King James version. He is complaining about how sick he is and there is nothing left but the skin on his teeth. or nothing is left but skin about his teeth

No there is no skin on your teeth, it is simply just one of those saying. It means that you where soooooooooo close to something bad like failure or death.

I'm pretty sure it's an analogy; teeth don't have skin so if you're getting them to hold on for you with their skin, you're pretty damn lucky. Also, I hear U.S. English has the most ridiculous sayings of all languages, making it the hardest to learn thoroughly. Crazy freakin Americans.

all saying don't make sense really. I think it would hurt to chew if you had skin on your teeth. You'd almost be a cannibal.
