I have this dream really often about my teeth falling out. It's like one tooth falls out and then they all start just falling out. I'm always trying to pick them up and run to the dentist to get my teeth put back in before it's too late but I can never make it on time. The circumstances around my teeth falling out are always different. Never the same place, time or circumstances just always teeth falling out and me trying to get them up and run to the dentist. What is this dream trying to tell me? Oh, by the way, I have perfect teeth and I visit the dentist regularly.

Okay, this is also a dream that I have often...when i was in therapy for anxiety, I brought this up and it stems from a feeling of not being in control, being out of control, or just having mixed up and uncontrollable thoughts and/or feelings. I hope this helps. Do you ever dream about storms especilly tornadoes? That also is most of the time interpreted the same way. And as you know (if you figure out who this is) I have an extreme phobia of storms and tornadoes...I guess I am completely out of control, uh? LOL!

Dreaming of your teeth falling out falls into the same category as dreaming you are inappropriately dressed. It's an 'anxiety dream' and they take all kinds of forms - even that you are yelling or fighting with someone. Examine the past couple of days. Have you been stressed about a particular issue?

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.�

It means that you are afraid someone or some people will see something about you that you don't want them to see. Your teeth are white and pure and belong there. People really notice them. If they are missing or gross people will notice for sure and think negatively about it or you. Your teeth represent your self image. You are afraid someone will see something in you that is negative or embarrassing. That is why you are trying to fix it before anyone can see it.
It's not necesarily a physical trait. Think of something you are ashamed of recently. That's probably it.

Not to worry, this is a VERY common dream! According to psychoanalytic theory, it represents a type of anxiety. Since your dreams are recurring, you should try to figure out the root problem. Freud thought that such dreams were representative of sexual repression. (he found a sexual root to many symptoms, so take that cautiously.) So, Freud might suggest you explore your sexuality. Is something bothering you around that subject?

For you, it means you have taken such good care of your teeth and you are obviously afraid of losing them. Understandable. Don't worry quite so much about your looks-- it's vain and it's hurting your sleep. Put more effort into being a good person, helpful, kind, and having fun. You may already be these things, but you are worrying too much about your looks, so you need to refocus your mind.
