I believe that each of us has had a dream about teeth at least once in our life. According to old superstitions, this type of dream does not mean anything good. However, we live in the 21st century, and we know that not all superstitions are based on truth (after all, that’s why they are called ‘superstitions.’)
When you dream about your teeth – rotten teeth or teeth falling out, it can feel like a nightmare. But don’t worry. Dreams are interpreted through symbols, so a dream about teeth is not literally about your teeth or oral health.
There are three most common things teeth in dreams symbolize. The third one might surprise you!

You’re dealing with an anxiety
It could show up in your dreams if you’ve been more stressed lately. The stresses of your daily life can manifest as anxiety in your subconscious, even as physical problems like stomach aches or chest pains. In your dreams, this worry can manifest as teeth problems, such as teeth falling out, teeth growing too long, or your teeth being stained, broken, or discolored in some way.
If you’ve been stressed lately, it’s always a good idea to try and find a way to relieve the pressure before it becomes a more significant issue. This could mean taking time to meditate, journaling, or even just walking outside. In addition, doing something to reduce that stress can help your dreams become less anxious.
You’re questioning your identity
If you’ve been going through a period where you’ve been questioning who you are and what you stand for, your dreams may begin to reflect that. Teeth, of all body parts, are connected to our identity in many ways. For example, teeth can reveal a person’s age, health, diet, and lifestyle choices.
If you’ve been questioning some of your life choices recently, your dreams about teeth could reflect that. For example, if you’ve been feeling unhappy with your health, diet, or your general lifestyle choices, your teeth could start to show signs of that in your dreams. Teeth in dreams could also indicate that you are afraid of coming out (if you’re attracted to a person of the same gender.)
Good luck is on its way to you
Who would have thought that dreams about teeth could mean happiness or luck? Yes, that’s right. Teeth in dreams mean luck and good fortune.
When you look up the meaning of a dream about teeth on the internet, you often read that it means an unfortunate fate or something adverse. However, teeth in dreams usually mean positive things, such as happiness, renewal, or good luck, and all these claims of a negative meaning are based either on superstitions or falsehoods.
So, if you have a dream about teeth, don’t worry that something terrible will happen. On the contrary, look forward to happy events or some kind of surprise.
Wrapping it up
Dreams can be a great way to get insight into your subconscious thoughts and feelings. With so many symbols and metaphors in our dreams, it can be hard to decipher what they mean. Teeth often represent our health, social status, identity, health, and confidence. Teeth issues in dreams can indicate anxiety or fear. Or even good luck! It’s important to remember that dreams are fluid and changeable, and their meanings often reflect your current life and emotions.
