It’s one of the scariest dreams you can have: You’re going about your business, and all of a sudden, your teeth start falling out. Maybe they drop out one at a time, or they start crumbling in your hands, or they start splintering off. No matter what, having a dream where your teeth fall out is unsettling. If you’ve had a dream like this, you might be wondering what it means.
“The teeth dream will be connected to the way you’ve been communicating lately,” says Lauri Quinn Loewenberg, professional dream analyst and author. “Any dream having to do with the mouth — the lips, the tongue, the teeth, the throat — is going to be about what you’ve been saying, how you’ve been saying it, et cetera.” Continue reading for Loewenberg’s interpretations of various dreams about teeth falling out, and how they might relate to what’s happening in your life when you’re awake.
If you dream that your teeth fall out at the dentist’s office …
“The dentist would [represent] your ability to correct some form of communication you’ve had, or maybe just correct your typical way of communicating,” Loewenberg says. “Maybe you’re working on not cursing so much, maybe you’re working on thinking before you speak, maybe you’re working on being more polite.
”
If you pull out a loose tooth in your dream …
According to Loewenberg, pulling out a loose tooth would symbolize a conflict that you need to speak up about or that you want to put an end to. “Maybe the tooth is just hanging there by a vein, and you just need to get this out. That thought process right there is exactly what the dream means. You’ve got to say what needs to be said here, you gotta force yourself to say it no matter how painful it may be.”
If you go to pick something out of your teeth, and the tooth falls out …There’s nothing like realizing you forgot to floss and now have a piece of spinach in your teeth, but it’s even more unsettling if your tooth falls out when you try to remedy it.
However, Loewenberg says that this dream could be a sign that you’ve cleared up a miscommunication. “It’s also really important what is stuck in your teeth. If you’ve got gum stuck in your teeth, this would likely be connected to something you would consider a sticky situation. And that may be why you’re stuck in this communication issue because it’s sticky and you’re not sure how to say the correct thing.”
If you dreamed that your teeth begin crumbling …
“The one where your teeth crumble is connected to weak speech. You’re typically going to get that dream when you maybe had an argument or you feel like you didn’t get your point across, or you just didn’t say it correctly, that what came out of your mouth was weak. It had cracks in it, it wasn’t solid.”
If you dreamed that your teeth started falling out slowly or one by one …
“When they come out on their own, that’s usually connected to allowing something out of your mouth that you wish you could put back in.
Saying something without thinking about it first, gossip, things that should have stayed in there. When the teeth come out one at a time, then look at your communication the day before. Did you start maybe leaking information about someone or something? Did you say little trickles of things that maybe you shouldn’t have said? It’s connected to just saying little tidbits here and there.”
If you dreamed that they all fell out at once …
Loewenberg says that this happens when you said a lot of information all at once. “That usually comes people who are talkers and who just talk way too much and don’t know when to stop talking. These people that have this personality trait are typically aware of it. They get that dream, it’s a lot of things come out of their mouth all the time. But it can also happen when you’ve allowed something big out of your mouth.
Like the more teeth that come out, the bigger the deal is of what you said. So if you’re trying to hold it in or you’re trying to catch the teeth, then that is connected to your realization of Oops, I shouldn’t have said that.”
If only a few of your teeth fell out in the dream …
“If it’s just a few teeth that come out instead of all of them, then again it would reflect a level of how much you’ve said.” Loewenberg urges you to look at the day before, because dreams will always be connected to something that happened the day before the dream. “Did you not give a whole truth? Did you only say half the story, so to speak?”
If all but one or two teeth fell out …
“If there’s just a little bit left, then you may still feel you have a little bit of dignity left after whatever it was you vomited out.
”
If you dreamed that they fell out with a light tap …
“That little tap suggests that perhaps someone gave you just a little nudge to get this information out of you rather than you offering it up freely. For example, when you have a secret, or someone’s told you something, some kind of juicy gossip, you’ll hold it in. But if someone kind of brings it up, ‘Do you know anything?,’ gives you a little nudge, and then you spill the beans, that’s tapping.”
If they started splintering and splitting apart in the dream …
Like crumbling teeth, Loewenberg warns that this might also have to do with weak speech. “Then again, there’s a reason why it’s splintering or splitting as opposed to crumbling.
The splitting could be compared to what you said the day before in an argument with someone where you were to the point [of] just splitting hairs. If you’re getting down to way too much detail that’s unnecessary at that point.”
If pieces of your teeth started chipping off …
Out of all the dreams of teeth falling out, Loewenberg says this is the one that she personally gets most frequently. “That would also be about not giving enough information. For example, I think I get it a lot because I go on the radio a lot and I explain dreams a lot. But I’ll get that teeth-chipping-off dream when I feel like I haven’t given enough information, like I feel like I didn’t explain myself well enough. I don’t feel like the person I was talking to fully understands what I was trying to explain to them.”
If you dreamed that your teeth started to grow crooked and push themselves out of your mouth …
“In this case, this will really affect how you look. A lot of times in these dreams when the teeth are coming out or whatever’s going on with the teeth, we’ll look in the mirror because we have concern about how we look now. So that one would very much be you having anxiety about how you may now appear to others after what has been said. The crookedness also could be connected to lies.”
If they started to rot …
“Rotting teeth can be one of two things. It can be connected to something that’s old, a kind of argument or grudge or situation that you’ve been discussing the previous day that’s old, and you’re getting tired of it.
You’re subconscious is expressing that in the form of rotting teeth. It’s like we’ve gone over this a million times this is getting old. But it can also be connected to guilt over saying something that was really rotten and nasty.”
If you dreamed that your teeth started retreating back into your gums …
“That one is big-time connected to really wishing you could take back what you said. You wish you could just erase it. ‘Ugh, I can’t believe that I said that, what can I do to take this back?’ That one also can be fear of speaking up. I’m afraid to speak up about whatever this issue is. So instead of letting it out, I’m like pulling back completely.”
If your mouth was full of loose teeth in your dream …
“That one is where there is something that you need to speak up about but you haven’t yet.
It’s like, I need to say this, I really need to speak up about this, I really need to confront this person about this, but you haven’t done it yet. You’re like on the verge, you’re so ready to. That’s why they’re loose. But you haven’t done it yet. At this point, your subconscious is presenting it to you in this way, so you can decide, Okay, is it best to go ahead and speak up about this or to keep my mouth shut? What is the best way to approach this?”
If they started falling out while you were in the middle of a difficult task …
“Of course, it would also depend on the task you’re doing, because every little detail matters. But if you’re in the process of doing something difficult and your teeth fall out and they’re not the entire focus of the dream, this could also be connected to not just communication but also action in real life that you’re having difficulty with.
A lot of times when we face difficult issues, we don’t do anything. When you’re actively trying to tackle that difficult situation in real life — hence you’re dealing with something difficult in a dream — you’re actively trying to fix it and your teeth fall out, [it] could be a message from your subconscious to keep this to yourself, just work on this alone and don’t be complaining and gossiping about it.”
If they fell out in your dream and you couldn’t find them …
Loewenberg says that this could mean you’re having trouble finding the right words. “You know there’s something you need to say but you don’t know how to say it. How can I say this? Let me find the right words. Since the teeth have already come out, this could be trying to find the right words to correct what you’ve messed up by speaking without thinking.
”
If you dreamed that they fell out while you were hooking up with someone …
“You know how they say less is more? This type of dream could happen when you’ve talked way too much in a conversation. For example, sex in a dream actually isn’t about the physical act of sex, it’s more about connecting with someone on an emotional or psychological level. So this could indicate that you’ve had some kind of connection with someone with intimate conversation. But now you’re overthinking it, and thinking, Oh, maybe I shouldn’t have said this, oh, I said too much of that, but your dream is trying to reassure [you that] you guys connected, don’t worry about it.”
The takeaway: If you’re having dreams where your teeth are falling out, Loewenberg says that your subconscious is trying to help you improve your communication skills.
That said, there are some exceptions. “Sometimes, the loss of teeth or something happening to your teeth can also be about you feeling you’re losing power somewhere in your life,” Loewenberg says. “In the animal kingdom, your teeth are your ability to survive, to protect yourself, and to eat. Loss of teeth can, for some, mean they’re feeling like they’re losing their means to survive in some way.”
To start tackling the root of the dreams, Loewenberg advises keeping a dream journal. “I recommend writing your day-journal part on the left side of your journal and your dreams on the right side so you can have them next to each other and more easily connect the dots between what happened in your day to see how that affected what you dreamt that night.” This is a way for you to track patterns in your behavior and how your communication may be affecting your dreams.
The bottom line? “If you’re getting the teeth dream a lot, really examine how well or how poorly you’re communicating with others,” advises Loewenberg. “Do you need to listen more? Do you need to work on expressing yourself more? Do you need to speak up more? Do you need to be more confident in what you say? Do you need to be more tactful? All these little clues in your dreams are going to tell you that.”

Dreams About Teeth Falling Out:12 Interpretations, Facts, and More
Experts have debated for years over why we dream as well as why we have the types of dreams we do. Some believe that dreams are key to understanding our subconscious, while others wave them off as stemming from natural biological processes, only. However, having a very specific type of dream can have meaning behind it, especially if it’s a recurring one.
One such dream involves your teeth falling out, which is thought to be caused primarily by psychological stress. Your health, culture, and overall mental health could all possibly play a role into exactly why you dream about your teeth.
While dream meaning is highly subjective, we’ll explore 12 different interpretations and scenarios for teeth falling out.
One of the most common interpretations for having your teeth fall out in a dream has to do with deep personal loss. This can be related to the:
- death of a loved one
- loss of a marriage/partnership
- loss of a job
- losing a home
There’s also a belief in some religions that dreaming about tooth loss can mean there’s about to be a death in your family.
Aside from personal loss, religion may possibly play another role in the occurrence of dreams about your teeth falling out. This could especially be true if you’re going through paranoia about your beliefs or are perhaps worried about things that can happen in the future.
Stress certainly isn’t exclusive to religion, and it can also be tied to other aspects of your life.
Stress, whether related to work or home, is a normal part of life. However, uncontrolled stress can evolve into physical reactions. Dreams about your teeth falling out are certainly a possibility if you’re under more stress than normal.
While stress and anxiety are sometimes mentioned together, anxiety is a more long-term condition where you experience excessive worrying and insecurity that can interfere with your daily life. Anxiety can cause teeth grinding at night, which is one cause of dreams about your teeth.
Another possibility is that anxiety can make you worry about something going wrong at an extreme level, hence your teeth falling out.
Both stress and anxiety can correlate to upcoming major changes in your life. Whether you have a new job or promotion coming up, or you’re making a move to a new city or getting married and having kids, all of these scenarios can affect your subconscious.
You might worry about things that can possibly go wrong with new changes in your life, which may lead to dreams about tooth loss.
Depression consists of experiencing long-term feelings of extreme guilt, hopelessness, and sometimes loneliness. When you have low self-worth, you might start envisioning things wrong with your physical well-being, too.
You might consider bringing up your dreams to your doctor at your next appointment if you think you might be depressed.
If you find yourself jealous of your partner, a friend, or a co-worker, the pent-up negative energy can affect your subconscious as you sleep. Such feelings may lead to delusional dreaming, such as those involving your teeth.
Dreams about teeth falling out may not necessarily be attributed to your teeth. It’s also possible to dream about others who are missing teeth.
Possible scenarios include children losing baby teeth, or perhaps accidents in adults who get their teeth broken. You may even dream about an older adult losing their teeth. This may illuminate negative feelings you have about this other person.
While grinding your teeth can possibly lead to subconscious thoughts about your teeth falling out, the reverse scenario is also possible. Having a dream about your teeth falling out might lead to teeth grinding in your sleep.
This is perhaps one of the scenarios that seems most clear-cut.
If you recently experienced a tooth falling out or breaking, you could dream about the event, too. It’s also possible to dream about more teeth falling out, especially if the initial event was traumatic.
For younger children and adolescents who are still growing out of their baby teeth, it’s possible to have dreams about the growth of new adult (permanent) teeth.
Be sure to talk to your child and to reassure them that their teeth are indeed secure, and that it takes time for their new adult teeth to come in.
If your self-care routine has gone by the wayside, you may not eat right or exercise as you should. More than likely, a lack of attention to your personal health has also led to poor quality of sleep.
It’s possible to have unusual or recurring dreams, such as those that involve your teeth falling out, which signify you are not taking care of yourself.
While dreams about your teeth falling out seem unusual and disturbing, such dreams are surprisingly common.
Recurring dreams, especially nightmares, tend to be most common in people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression. However, dreams about teeth falling out can go beyond your mental health, too. Such dreams may relate to:
- your health and well-being
- personal challenges
- periods of growth
- perhaps nothing out of the ordinary at all
Still, the fact remains that dreams about your teeth falling out are one of the most common types of dreams. Such visions are also cross-cultural. While religion can sometimes play a role in your subconscious and subsequent dreams, being nonreligious can lead to dreams about your teeth, too.
There are even historical components to dreaming about tooth loss, with discussions about these dreams going as far back as the Ancient Greeks.
Dreaming about your teeth falling out can be a scary experience, especially if you’ve had this dream more than once. You can take comfort knowing that this is a very common dream, and there’s usually nothing to worry about.
However, if you are working through a mental health condition that could be connected, it’s important to discuss these with your doctor. You can also address other potential causes of dreams about tooth loss that are also harmful to your health, such as poor lifestyle choices and chronic stress.
Although dreams about your teeth falling out aren’t particularly dangerous, you might feel better working through your dreams and recurrent nightmares with a professional. Check out local psychologists in your area, or find a therapist near you.
interpretation of dreams about tooth loss
Tooth loss in Miller's dream book
Any dream in which you remain without a tooth is a harbinger of trouble, even if it is removed by a dentist - in this case, get ready for serious and long-term health problems. Spitting out teeth in a dream also speaks of illnesses (yours or loved ones). You just lost a tooth - it means that your pride will not stand under the yoke of circumstances, and your labors will be in vain.
It matters how many teeth fell out: one - to sad news, two - to a series of failures due to their neglect of business, three - to very big troubles, all - to grief. nine0005
Loss of teeth in Vanga's dream book
The soothsayer associated the loss of teeth in a dream with the sudden death of a person from your environment (if with blood, then the closest relative). Worse, if a tooth is pulled out, your friend will be overtaken by a violent death, and the criminal will go unpunished. In this case, Vanga advises not to reproach yourself, you need to accept that this is fate. Left completely without teeth? Tune in to an interesting life, but a lonely old age, as you will outlive your loved ones and friends. nine0005
Loss of teeth in the Islamic dream book
Interpreters of the Koran can find directly opposite explanations for the meaning of dreams about teeth falling out. Some believe that this is an indicator of life expectancy. The more teeth you lose, the longer you will live (life will be rich if the teeth fall into your hands).
Others warn that such a dream may be followed by the death of a loved one from illness. Who exactly? The upper teeth symbolize men, the lower teeth symbolize women. The canine is the head of the family, the right incisor is the father, the left is the father's brother. If one of them is no longer alive, then it may be their closest relatives or friends. But if all your teeth fall out, then this is a good sign, the longest life in the family awaits you. nine0005
For debtors, a dream about teeth falling out means a quick repayment of the loan.
Loss of teeth in Freud's dream book
The psychoanalyst correlated dreams about teeth with a craving for masturbation and fears that others would become aware of this. The loss of a tooth (whether it was pulled out or it fell out on its own) reflects the fear of punishment in the form of castration for masturbation. If you deliberately shook the tooth so that it fell out faster, then you like self-satisfaction more than sexual contacts with the opposite sex.
nine0005
Loss of teeth in the dream book of Nostradamus
Do you have some serious goal, but did you dream of a lost tooth? Get together, otherwise, due to your own inaction and confusion, you risk disrupting all plans. If an empty hole remains after a tooth falls out, then you will grow old earlier than expected, as you will quickly lose vitality.
Loss of teeth in Loff's dream book
Agree that being left without teeth is an awkward situation. Therefore, the psychoanalyst associated such dreams with the fear of losing face in public and situations in which you will have to feel embarrassed. nine0005
But dreams about teeth falling out can also have a purely physical component - teeth grinding in a dream or their high sensitivity.
Loss of teeth in Tsvetkov's dream book
The scientist advises to pay attention to the method of losing a tooth: pulled out - an annoying person will disappear from your life, knocked out - expect a series of failures.
If any of the processes is accompanied by bleeding, then one of your relatives will die.
Loss of teeth in the Esoteric dream book
Painless loss of a tooth indicates that connections that did not play a special role in your life will disappear by themselves. If at this moment blood flowed, then the separation will turn out to be painful.
Painful loss of teeth portends that people who did not play a significant role in it will soon disappear from your life. Photo: globallookpress.comPsychologist's comment
Maria Koledina, psychologist:
Loss of teeth in dreams has an archaic character and is often accompanied by a feeling of fear or horror. Because in ancient times, being left without teeth meant hunger, and this is tantamount to death. nine0005
In men, the loss of teeth in a dream may be related to the actualization of the fear of death, first of all, as a man, associated with the loss of his sexual activity and aggression.
Losing teeth symbolically means losing competition to another male, lowering in status, getting a blow to self-esteem. For example, such a dream may occur after a situation where a man could not defend himself.
A dream about the loss of teeth in women can also be related to the topic of sexuality, aggression and fear for its manifestations. Loss of teeth in such dreams may be the result of a strong sense of guilt and a form of punishment. Such a dream can also occur after a situation where a woman, instead of “showing her teeth”, was silent, that is, she suppressed her aggression. nine0005
Dreamed of teeth falling out, why dreaming of teeth falling out, find out the meaning of sleep - Dream Interpretation on Rambler / horoscopes
Dreams in which teeth fall out are usually harbingers of bad events. However, interpretations vary from source to source. We will find out why teeth fall out in a dream, and whether it is worth fearing the consequences.
Vanga: interpretation of dreams about teeth falling out
- The Bulgarian soothsayer correlated the loss of a tooth in a dream with the unexpected death of a person from the dreamer's close circle, and if at the same time he was bleeding, then with the death of a relative.
nine0058 - If he was somehow pulled out in a dream, this is a sign of violent death, and the criminal will go unpunished. In such situations, Vanga urged not to blame yourself for anything, but to accept it as a twist of fate.
- To remain with an empty mouth at all - get ready for a boring life, but loneliness in advanced years, because you will outlive many people from the environment.
Why dream of losing teeth according to Miller's dream book
- If you are left without a tooth, such a dream can portend serious and long-term health troubles. nine0058
- The fact of spitting out teeth can also indicate problems with well-being.
- If you just lost one of them - a sign that your pride will still submit to circumstances, and efforts will be fruitless.
The number of lost teeth is also important:
- one - to sad news,
- two - to a series of failures due to their careless attitude to solving issues,
- three - to serious problems,
- all - to tragedy, misfortune .
nine0058
