It's powerlessness. Teeth are very important for survival. There's something in your waking life that is threatening your survival. Find out what it is and deal with it. It could be an abusive parent... or it could be as simple as not eating right... serious. Something is stressing you out... Just handle it before it handles you.

Hmmm.....do you eat a lot of candy? Drink a lot of soda? and you hear all the time about how soda rots your teeth and candy gives you cavities? Do you wake up and the teeth are in your bed? Do you wake up and just begin spitting teeth onto the floor? Were you in a nasty fight in your dream? Did one tooth fall out once, for no reason and you are afraid that they will just all fall out?
E-mail me back. Tell me more and I'll see if I can help you.

Me too! I have had this dream repeatedly over the years, but cannot recall one lately. I started delving into metaphysical subjects and part of the journey was about dream analysis. This is what I have learned.
Losing teeth in dreams symbolizes the loss of childhood innocence. These dreams often occur at times of transition from one life stage to the next. Your dream may be a message that an important milestone is occurring and urging you to face the inevitable. Losing teeth in dreams may also symbolize a desire to return to the security of childhood.
We need our teeth to feed our bodies. Eating is necessary to maintain the body's growth, energy and health. In this context, losing teeth may be associated with insecurity about your livelihood. Perhaps you are stuck in a "dead-end" job and fear for your future. Perhaps you are growing older and are becoming anxious about how much time you have left to work and make an income. You may be getting "long in the tooth" and fear losing your sexual attractiveness. Dreaming of false teeth symbolizes concern about your self-image. We all must deal with the process of growing older. Find fun ways to re-invent yourself incorporating all the wisdom and experience that you have gained.
Teeth falling out suddenly or all at once may symbolize fear of things that are beyond your control. Permanent teeth do not come back - you may fear or be facing a major loss. You may fear victimization; without teeth, you can't bite back

I looked this up in The Dictionary of Dreams10,000 Interpreted by
Gustavus Hindman Miller & this is what it said...
**For one tooth to fall out foretells disagreeable news;
**For two to fall out denotes unhappy states that the
dreamer will be plunged into from no carelessness
on his part.
** For three to fall out, sickness & accidents of a very
serious nature will follow.
**Seeing all teeth fall out, death & famine usually prevail.
I'm sorry! I just saw your question & looked it up in my dreams book. But actually I don't concider that the total interpretation. You also have to concider the feeling you have as soon as you wake up. Also other things that stand out in the dream are important.
My dreams started bothering me so I checked up on it & I write my dream & explain the feeling I had right after waking from it. When you write about the dream write every single thing that comes to your mind that was in the dream. You can investigate furter if you want to know more. Just find books about dream interpretation or understanding dreams.
Best wishes!

My family & friends believe that dreaming of teeth is nuthing but dream about teeth falling out is bad.. I remember hearing that a really bad problem will come up.. but im not really sure.. Its just something I've heard from my mom, my cousins, my grandparents, my parents friends, ect. There are different opinions that people have .. Just google "teeth falling out dream" and some answers will pop up.

This is apparently the most common dream for everyone, i have heard a couple of theories the first being some one is hiding something from you and dont know how to tell you and the second is you for real have mouth problems you dont know about and to do see your dentist.

As you can see from many of the answers, this is common (and has nothing to do with the state of your teeth).
I've always heard it has to do with fear of (almost literally) "losing face" -- fear of embarrassment or humiliation. Possibly the biggest fear we have -- it's a powerful element in the human psyche.
(Ever have those dreams where you're going to the bathroom, and there's a roomful of people watching you? Similar thing.)

Maybe you :
A) eat before bedtime
B) brush your teeth before your head hits the pillow-which makes you a bit preoccupied with teeth ..

WOW! I have the same dream & in some of them, I actually pull them out myself. I looked it up in some of the dream dictionaries, and one of them said that it means that you are not working/living up to your potential in some aspect of your life. Another said you have to take into consideration the entire dream including colors.

I belive its got something to do with worrying about something in your life that you have no control over. Try eating something unusual before you go to bed, (cheese, pickles and peanut butter), this will confuse your subconcious and you'll have better dreams
