Dreaming about your teeth falling out, or missing a tooth or several teeth is a common theme that very basically indicates you are experiencing stress and anxiety. The meaning of your dream depends on many factors in the dream such as your feelings/emotions, where is the dream happening, is anyone in the dream with you (who), when is it happening in the dream (are you younger, older).
Spiritually, this dream can mean you are experiencing; trauma and or abuse presently or past memories, loss of a loved one – family, friends, pets, losing/lost your job, loss of wisdom, loss of your youth, misfortune, not taking proper care of yourself, a debt that you need to pay, overall something is not right/good.
Dream meanings of teeth in general:
1.) Teeth in general represent assimilation of knowledge and our ability to assimilate knowledge. They also represent our personal power, assertiveness, and/or aggressiveness; “baring our teeth/showing your teeth” (aggressiveness), “bite into something”(taking something on), “take a bite” (temptation, trying something), “chew on this” (to digest and discern an idea). Dreams of teeth missing, loose, losing, falling out or being pulled can indicate you feel loss of control in a situation, or you have “bitten off more than you can chew” (taking on too much and are overwhelmed). Can also mean you have a “loss of words” or are “speechless” regarding a situation.
2.) Loosing your teeth can indicate that you feel shame and or embarrassment. A loss of self confidence. Our teeth are so important to our physical outward appearance and our smile and when you dream of losing your teeth or they have fallen out what are your feelings about this? Normally, horrified right?! But then past that ask yourself what is the next feeling or thought when you wake up? Were you embarrassed in the dream? Were you sad? Losing our teeth happens when we get older so another meaning can be loss of youth and appearance as we age.
3.) Biblical meaning of teeth is wisdom and the ability to assimilate the “meat of The Word”. Teeth falling out basically indicates that you lack wisdom and are trying to figure it out alone, trying to solve a problem or handle a situation yourself – you are trusting in yourself and not trusting God. You have lack of faith and hope which are both lovingly provided to you by God. Open your Bible and start with James 1:5 ” If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of Elohim, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it shall be given to him.”
4.) Tooth can be a play on the word Truth – our speech, communication. A tooth or several teeth falling out one at a time or several at a time can mean you something you said just fell out of your mouth and you are regretting it. If you dream of your teeth rotting, that can mean hidden guilt and shame of things said or done.
This dream is a call to action to “wake up” and deal with your stress and or anxiety in a constructive and healthy way. Address the problem instead of pushing it back or you will keep having these types of dreams! By pinpointing the “what is bothering you” i.e. your health, a personal situation/relationship, work/job challenge or are you experiencing a loss of some type? Consider the power of prayer and giving it to God. He is the ultimate Healer. And speaking to someone i.e. friend, counselor or therapist (especially with help to heal grief/loss/abuse/trauma). Once you acknowledge the issue and getting the help you need can lead to transformative positive growth.
