I have recurring dreams where I lose teeth. Sometimes it is one of my front teeth, but last night it was one of the ones in the back of my mouth. When the back tooth came out in my dream, there was a huge hole in it due to a cavity. What is the interpretation of losing teeth in a dream?

Dreams about teeth and losing teeth are common.
One theory is that dreams about your teeth reflect your anxiety about your appearance and how others perceive you.
Teeth are part of being good looking and attracting love and friends.
You may fear that you are sexually impotent.
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.
A losing teeth dream may be rooted in your fear of being embarrassed or making a fool of yourself in some specific situation.

Teeth generally represent strength or the power to effect change. We often say "this law has no teeth" to portray legislation that cannot really be enforced.
If you are losing teeth in your dreams it is probably an indication that you are feeling out of control in some area of your life that you consider vital.

To dream of rotten teeth shows that you have been telling someone a lie or using your smooth words for getting your own way no matter what. If your teeth are rotten, crooked, and/or falling out this means that your lies are hurting someone very badly and that you will soon be found out.

You can easily find this on any dream interpretation site, as teeth dreams are one of the most common dreams. There are different interpretations, buit I believe it has to do with feeling self-conscious about your looks.

i have the same dream all the time. i dream that my teeth are falling out and it fills me with so much anxiety. i interpret that dream as follows: i am losing control of something important in my life. i feel out of control with regard to something specific in my life. maybe it's with my family, friends, work, significant other, money, whatever. examine what is going on in your waking life. is there something that you feel you need to have a better control over? is there something maybe you're losing control of? is there something happening that makes you sad, anxious or upset that you have no control over whatsoever?

Losing teeth in a dream mean there will be a funeral or death. Sorry to tell you this. Or you could be stressed out.
