Typically dreams simply reflect something you are thinking about or that has happened to you during the day. Dreams involving teeth typically reflect a feeling that something in your life is out of your control and is causing you stress. It has nothing to do with your teeth at all, its just a representation.
Look at the things going on in your life. Is there something or maybe several things going on that you are frustrated or maybe unsure about because you have no or little control over them. My ex b/f had those dreams when he was between jobs(which was often, hence the ex). My best g/f had dreams where she lost teeth during her very ugly divorce(he left her for a younger woman). See if you have those feelings about your personal relationship, work or perhaps your family like your parents.
Otherwise, see a doctor. Its possible that your body is trying to tell you something is out of whack and you are ignoring the signs, causing yourself this stress almost unconsciously.
Good luck to you.

Do you grind your teeth while you sleep? I do when I am stressed and I have had the same dreams. Or maybe its time you had a check up just to be sure everything is okay with your teeth.
I have one book that says dreams about lossing teeth is really a way to vent feelings of insecurity, powerlessness or financial stress, possibly even the loss or death of a family member.

Do you think you might be grinding your teeth?
When you grind your teeth the pressure is very great and that might be causing them to hurt.
Check into getting you a mouth guard. Ask your local Dentist.
We got ours from the sport shop, int the football section. You just heat it up in warm water and it forms to your teeth. Then when it cools then you can use it every night.
Hope this helps.

Personally, I think you are subconsiously concerned about the health condition of your teeth. As long as you brush after each meal and floss at least once a day, you should be fine.

I seem to recall that as per dream symbology that teeth represent either money or things of value.
Are you perhaps in a situation where you think you are likely to lose money or possessions?

You may be having low blood sugar episodes in the night. This can bring on bad dreams, to try to get you up and moving. Try having a small protein based snack before going to bed. E-mail me through my profile if you want my suggestions.

I get these dreams sometimes. Personally I feel has to do with feelings of losing control of your personal life.

You are probably grinding your teeth in your sleep. Go to a dentist and get it checked out. It's a simple problem to fix.
