hmmm

so a couple nights ago i had the strangest dream where three of my teeth fell out. and in the morning i woke up feeling like they were still missing. since my mother used to have a book based on the symbols of dreams and i used to read it whenever something strange would occur with a clear symbol i decided to google 'loosing teeth in a dream'. and the articles i read made go ''hmm...that makes sense to my current situation...''

here's the article:
So, what does it mean when we dream about missing teeth? At the most basic level it means that we are afraid of being found unattractive. At a deeper level, it can signify a fear of embarrassment or a loss of power in real life

Dreams of losing a tooth or teeth are very common. Teeth represent our 'bite' or aggressive nature. When we can't get our teeth into something, it suggests that we have little control.



If you dream of losiing your teeth, it has to do with 'loss' in general such as loss of youth and all things associated with our anxiety of gettiing older. A rotton tooth is a symbol of our painful feelings that keep 'aching' until we find relief. Could it be that your relationship or 'bond' with someone is hurting? Perhaps you've said hurtful words that you now regret? False teeth clearly indicate fear of losing one's sense of true self; that is, honesty and integrity. Look at all the images in the dream, such as grinding teeth or teething troubles, to determine the correct meaning.

Understanding Dreams and their Messages 


If you dream about losing teeth this simply means you will loose something valuable or close to you. (This could also be a person or pet.) 

Another interpretation could mean you are nervous about something and you should talk to someone about it. (Losing teeth or a tongue in a dream is a symbol of not wanting to talk about something, but you should because it is unhealthy.) 
*******

(1) Teeth may be a symbol of aggressiveness. If the dream is showing someone bitting someone else, it may mean there is an aggressive nature towards that person. 

(2) False teeth may symbolize insincerity. 

(3) Losing teeth may symbolize a feeling of - or fear of - getting older or impotent or losing sexual attractiveness. Or they may represent a retreat to infancy, and hence a refusal to face reality. Alternatively, they may symbolize the start of a new phase in your life (knocking a tooth out sometimes featured in male initiation rites in mythology). 

(4) A bad tooth may represent a painful or rooten part of one's feelings, life or relationships; angry or regretful words. 

(5) "Teeth" in the dream world are most often an archetypal image of the dreamer's sense of confidence and competence in the waking world. Dreaming that there is something amiss with my teeth usually points to insecurities about my ability to "get my teeth into it," or maybe I've "bitten off more than I can chew." 

now that's something to chew on hah
