What Does Dreaming of Teeth Mean?
Traditional Interpretation
In traditional interpretation and according to Ibn Sirin, teeth represent the household and close relatives; the upper teeth may symbolize the men, the lower teeth the women, and the front teeth one's children and siblings. Strong, white teeth may point to strength, gain, and relief from troubles, while decayed, broken, or falling teeth may point to a hardship, illness, or separation that could befall the relative they represent.
Psychological View
In modern psychology, teeth are considered a symbol of self-confidence, power, and the sense of control; their falling out or breaking may often reflect subconscious stress, fear of loss, or a feeling of vulnerability. In Jungian terms, this dream may point to a transitional period in life or a need for renewal—to anxieties about aging, change, and losing something one possesses.
