What does teeth mean in a dream?

Teeth are a functional symbol reflecting a dual aspect: physical and social. From the physical side, teeth show the reliability of the organism's defense system — the ability to 'bite' (attack) or 'clench teeth' (resist). From the social side, they reflect the reliability of the immediate circle: friends, relatives, people the person counts on. Loss of teeth in a dream is one of the most common and alarming plots. In scientific interpretation, it is unambiguous: loss of vitality and tone. Each lost tooth symbolizes a loss — of a specific resource, support, energy source. If one tooth falls out, it's a targeted loss; if all crumble, it's a systemic crisis.

What do different contexts of teeth in a dream mean?

Teeth falling out

Crumbling teeth

Systemic loss of life resources — the situation worsens on all fronts simultaneously. Requires serious reassessment of the current position.

Healthy strong teeth

Good condition of defense systems, reliable surroundings, sufficient reserve of life energy for attack and resistance.

Dental treatment

An attempt to restore lost resources or strengthen weakened defenses. The treatment result in the dream shows how successful this attempt is.
