Teeth in Dreams

Teeth as a topic of dreams is more common than we think because teeth is associated with our very emotions. With every smile or frown, we see teeth or it is hidden away.

Also, when we were younger, we all went through the traumatic experience of losing our baby teeth and replaced with deeply rooted teeth. Though we don’t know it, but the experience of having missing teeth was an embarrassing and awkward moment of life that no one can control.

As an adult and dreaming of rotten teeth or falling teeth, there are deeper issues that trouble you in the form of potential embarrassment that keeps you from addressing important issues at hand.

  1. I had a dream that I yanked out my two front teeth by only using my hand, but once I looked back into my mouth there was two new ones forming, and they felt as those too were going to fall out. Then when I examined my mouth again I had this huge gap where my top teeth would be.

  2. I had a dream that i had a cigarette (i don’t smoke) after having the cigarette, i saw a close up of my teeth but they were yellow, misshaped, with black and red at the gum line. It seemed so real and vivid that it scares me.

  3. My dream starts out at my job, I work at a daycare. Everything seems normal, I’m chatting with moms who came to pick up their kids and then all of a sudden my Teeth are huge, like when you stick them out to look like buck teeth, but they’re so big I can’t get my mouth back to normal and I don’t feel out or get scared but it’s more of an irritated feeling like I’m frustrated that mg teeth are stuck like that.

  4. I’m eating fruit. My mother is giving me an apple. I can see myself chewing it. My lower right canine tooth gets loose. I touch it, it moves and comes out. Under it is a new baby tooth growing. The tooth that falls out is big and strong and a little yellow but I’m proud of it and show my father and he admires it.

  5. i had a reoccurring dream, that before i was able to reach the conclusion of the dream, i would be awoke from, usually in a rude or harsh manor. one day while i knew i had the chance to finish without interruption and finished the dream, but strangely i didn’t loose any teeth but gained big teeth. it seemed to have a race to the finish kind of feel to it, also a divine consciousnesses sense to it. i cant seem to find any meaning to it… any thoughts

  10. I had a dream last night that i pulled out my right wisdom tooth while laying in bed in the darkness!. I then climbed out of bed & walked into the next room, where there was all these big computers with flashing lights & bleeping noises!. Working these computers were tall thin men wearing white overall like tab techs. It was at this point i realised i was a child again!. There was an open door leading outside, i walked out, i then saw that the building i walked out of was like a large posh type of porter cabin, & there was seven more, & seven other children. We were all in this field that just seemed to go on & on – without any sign of civilization or other life except for us!.
    I get the strong sense that this dream is important as i never remember dreams, but i just cant decipher what it could mean!.
    I’m in my 40’s, in good health, with family, & no real worries to talk of. Can anyone help me interpret this this weird dream?, it’s so lucid it’s almost like a actual memory/experience!.

  13. I had a dream tonight that I was at a very bad dentist’s office and was having 2 teeth extracted. In the dream, the man who gave me the anesthetic was very aggressive and gave me the anesthetic in places I’ve never seen before. I work in the dental field so I know the routine. I get numb and the doctor comes in and pulls a molar. I don’t understand why this tooth has to go but he tells me to trust him. In the dream I am confused as to why I didn’t just let my boss (who is a dentist) extract the tooth rather than this quake. I’m really hoping this dream isn’t a bad omen as many say!!

  17. I found it curious that “teeth falling out” was in the “popular dreams” section since I myself have never had such a dream, not even any kind of dream where teeth played any role.

    From what I’ve read here it seems like dreaming of teeth falling out can symbolize embarrassment? I have never had too many friends, and always made an effort to not care about what others think. Could this be related? Yet still I am self-conscious about my looks, especially my teeth as they are horrifically yellow (still strong though, according to my dentist).

  18. my dream started with me seeing all my front teeth being loose.. shaky.. then i start pushing them back in, but it creates uneven teeth and some teeth longer than others.. i then start to panic and look in the mirror and finally all the teeth are pushed straight and aligned and the dream ends..

  19. I used to have braces, but now I wear one of those clear retainers. In my dream I hadn’t worn my retainer in so long that my teeth became horribly crooked. I tried to fix my teeth by putting the retainer on, but it wouldn’t fit and hurt my teeth whenever I tried to force it on. It seemed like every attempt hurt more, but I kept trying. Eventually one of my back molars was 99% ripped out of my gums. I finished the process myself by simply easing the tooth out. After, I called my dentist for advice on the situation, but he said that I should not rip the tooth out. It too late. The last thing I remember is looking in the mirror at the bloody area on my gums where my tooth used to be and running my tongue over it.

  20. i had a dream last night that left a lasting image, ive looked at meanings for teeth falling out, but it doesnt explain the dream i had. In my dream i was grinding my teeth, and as i was doing this lots of shards or splinters of gold were coming out of my mouth, then when this stopped my teeth broke into pieces and fell out of my mouth. Not quite a nightmare but a very unsual dream.

  22. I dreamt that I was in this banquet room. It had 5 round tables covered in table cloths and I was sitting at one. A lady turned to me and told me that their front tooth fell out so in my dream I told her to soak it in milk and then try putting it back in. After this, I noticed that 3 of my teeth on my top left (3 molars) fell out together and I sat them down on the table for whatever reason. I then noticed my gums where the teeth were, were swollen and sagging but not bleeding at all. The weird thing is that I didn’t even try to put them back in like I told the other lady to do. What does this mean?

  23. hi, last night i had a really strange dream about my teeth, they were all looose and wobbled, and some i could actually just hold and lift out of my gums! when i felt one of my canine teeth, i lifted it out of my gums and it has a plasticy tube instead of a root. i pulled out a few teeth, because (as my teeth are quite crooked) i thought if i took a few out it would move the others into place, then i could not find the teeth i pulled out 🙁
    what does this mean?

  28. It’s been happening for the last couple of nights, but i’ve been dreaming and everything is going well, and all of a sudden, i’ll look in a mirror and smile or to look at my teeth and they’re rotten and black and yellow. Not all of them, but some, and i’ll be able to just pull them out with my fingers, not even really trying hard. And i’ll be looking at them in my hand and feeling the void in my mouth, tasting the blood and nastiness of the rotten gums.

  32. Hi Sam
    Seeing your teeth rottne means that you really to increase your protectiona against negative energy. You must find you feel depleated around certain people or even crowds, your teeth are part of your natural defence so get some tourmaline (crystal ) or a pendant that is protective and wear it. Good Luck

  35. I dreamed that i had a lot of important guests come by an old house I lived in. The two stars from the Mighty Boosh and an old friend of mine that I lost touch with. I had to excuse myself from them because the gum I chewed on was caught on my teeth. I went to a small bathroom in the back and the gum attached to the very top of one of my molars in the back of my mouth. I pulled it out and the top of that tooth came off and big red intestine like string came off attached to it. I pulled out another tooth nearby and a string of yellow mucous was attached to it. I tried to hurry and fix it by pushing it back in my mouth but there was too much to put back in. Then I accidentally fell deeply into the toilet behind me. Scary I just woke myself up then.

  36. I had this dream that I was brushing my teeth with my younger brother and sister ( I am 18, they are 9-10 years younger) and instead of toothpaste streaming down the side of my face there was a lot of blood. Then I noticed that my toothbrush was soaked in blood, and that the tooth I had just brushed felt very loose. I inspect the tooth, and both the tooth and the gum are rotten- they’ve turned brown and green and all sorts of colors- so I yank it out and start screaming for my sister to bring me the mouthwash.

  40. I rarely remember my dreams, so I found it odd when I woke up and had to immediately run to the mirror to check my tooth…because it was such a clear dream to me…

    I dreamt that ONE of my teeth were half rotten, kind of. It was my canine tooth on my right side of my mouth. I remember looking in the mirror or something and it was half brownish and crusty looking, almost to the top of the tooth but there was a small bit of white… what can this mean?

  41. In my dream my two front teeth were slowly moving apart. Then they looked ugly and then they got perfect for just a second and started seperating again. Then I woke up. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!?!

    Reply
    • Hey Sam, your dream is talking about your understanding of things. Your two front teeth are your main perception of your ability to understand. By them slowly speading it shows that your understanding is becoming scewed. Then they come back together and then spread again. You understood for a bit but lost it. My guess is this dream is covering a span of a few months.

  48. I have this repeated dream that my teeth are loose and almost falling out, but that i try to hide this by pushing them back in, while they are held to my gums by very few strings. However, in my dreams, no one seems to notice my teeth and i seem overly self-conscious.

  49. I had a dream last night about my teeth falling out. I have these dreams quite frequently. Generally my teeth fall out in pieces, either due to rotting or no reason in particular.
    However most of these dreams also include prayers. FOr instance in my last dream, I was in a hospital and my teeth were falling out. I told my parents that the medication the hospital was giving me was making this occur.
    Then me and my parents fled from the hospital in a car. While we were driving we saw a beautiful man with light color eyes running on the side of the road. My parent slowed the car as we were crossing the bridge. During this time in the dream I knew something was wrong. Then the beautiful man was chasing our car and transformed into a skeleton, he put is hand through the windon to touch us, at which point I started praying surahs and ayyathul qursi. and he could not harm me. at which point I awoke

  51. I have dreamt more than once that my teeth keep falling out. It is scarying me. My mouth is never empty of teeth, and i am never bleeding. The last time it was really gross, my teeth were from the top left side and kind of rotten and i seemed like i just had to show them to a friend ??? Not sure why i had to show them like i was proud or something?? But then i said i guess i better stop eating all the candy. Then i did not have any teeth on the left side.
    Does anyone have an idea of what this means???

    • This does not mean death. It means that the words that are coming out of your mouth may not have been your true feelings. With the new teeth coming in, it means that you soon will be able to let some of your true feelings out. Just take the time to identify what your true feelings are. Journaling helps because when it gets time to speak your words, you have already written down the truth and now you can say it with ease and dignity and self control and meaning.

    • Teeth has a lot to do with self image. You may be experiencing low self esteem and confidence where you see yourself less than your full potential. Learn to accept who you are because everyone is different. Whatever other people think about you is irrelevant because you don’t live with them 24/7. Better to learn and love yourself starting today forward.

    • The K9 teeth is representative of aggression and assertiveness. Are you somehow trying to hide the aggressive nature that may be turning off people who meet you for the first time as it is often times misinterpreted for being a self absorbed jerk?
