You always know which is which. Even those who do not believe in good and evil are able to discern that some things are "good" and other things are "bad". Dreams also fall into these two categories.
Sometimes a dream, such as a dream about losing a tooth may seem bad when it is good. Remember that there is no set, predetermined destiny. This is true regardless of what your religious organization taught you. You have free will. A dream is a warning when it shows you, if nothing changes, what will happen.
Losing a tooth means a loss.
LOSING THREE TEETH EQUALS LOSING THREE BUSINESSES
When I had my first (and only) dream about losing teeth, I asked myself, "What does a tooth represent?" I reasoned that a tooth is used to chew your food. This feeds the body. So, I thought, a tooth represents a tool which brings something to you.
In my dream, I saw that I had three silver teeth, which I lost. Then, I heard a voice say, "But don't worry. You will receive a Gold tooth far superior to these three to replace what you lost." I never applied it to my life. A smart question is, "Where does this apply in my life? What can it be that I will lose?"
Later, I lost all three businesses I owned. So, the "Losing" part of losing teeth is easy to understand: it warns of loss. But, what does the tooth in your dream represent? Like I reasoned, you should also reason -- for yourself -- "What does a tooth mean to me?"
LOSING A PARENT
Working in my coffee shop in downtown Philadelphia, I taught a lot of dream recall techniques, shared my own dreams, and listened to many dreams from other people. That atmosphere really taught a lot about dream interpretation. We would guess about the meaning, but the real understanding always seems to come after the event actually transpires. Here is one event about a teeth falling out:
A young woman walked in one morning and asked me if I was "the person who knows about dreams." I said yes. She said she had a dream about losing her front tooth and asked my opinion. I thought to myself, "A front tooth is of major importance. This is most likely an important means of bringing something to herself." I asked about her job, boyfriend, school financing, and other important things. She all of those things were secure.
Then she said, "I am a twin. My sister is having the same dream." This saddened me, and I asked about her parents. She said her mother had been ill. I said I was very sorry, and added "This could mean that she will pass away. Perhaps you should prepare yourself." About a month later, she returned to tell me that her mother passed away about two weeks after she and her sister had the dreams.
So, above you have two fulfilled dreams of teething falling out in dreams. In my case, I lost three businesses, but am expecting one superior business to replace them. In the case of the young women, they received forewarning to prepare their hearts for the loss of their mother.
Symbolism of Teeth in the Bible
The Bible is another source of understanding of teeth meaning. In the book of Amos, chapter 4, God tells Amos, "I have given you cleanness of teeth." In context, it refers to the fact that the people have no food. So, clean teeth can represent teeth that have not chewed food in some time. Again, some creative thinking can reveal the meaning. "What do clean teeth mean in a dream? Why are teeth clean?"
In Psalm 58:6, King David prays for God to destroy his enemies, praying, "Break their teeth in their mouth." Here, teeth represent power, or strength. This makes sense. A man who cannot chew his food will become weak in body, and eventually become sickly. To break someone's teeth is to break their power and to reduce their capacity to renew their strength.
Teeth are a bone, and the Bible mentions strengthening bones, renewing bones and also breaking bones. In Ezekiel 30:24, "And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded [man]." Here we see breaking bones to mean weakening and strengthening bones to mean gaining power. Notice that the king whose bones are strengthened also received a sword.
So, losing a tooth, or losing teeth in a dream represents a loss of something that "feeds" you or losing something important. The loss could be someone who feeds you love, as a parent.
Gaining a tooth, or strengthening bones means gaining in some way. It could mean a new ability, improvement in existing skills, or the introduction of an entirely new business or loved one. It could be something that establishes your power, as in a strong sword arm.
In each case, the meaning should apply to you. Do not disregard "gut" or revelatory understanding of the meaning.

Video: Man from Modesto on Teeth Falling Out Dreams
I had a dream about friend well a couple of choir member's falling and then getting up noticing they had broken a tooth, and it seemed they had all fallin and broken a front tooth around the same time, I was wondering if you could help, or tell me what you think that means
ReplyDeleteI just woke up 5 minutes ago and had this dream. I have this dream alot but it was especially bad this time. I could feel my teeth with my tongue and they felt extremely loose and the next thing I knew I was spitting teeth out into my hand. Every tooth I touched seemed shaky and about to fall out and I would spit out whole teeth and pieces of teeth and soon had a small pile of teeth in my hand.
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I did when I woke up was check my teeth and I was extremely relieved to notice they weren't loose or shaky at all
Raphael:
ReplyDeleteWhen a dream is recurring, it means the message is very important. As described in the post above, losing a tooth most often represents losing something/ someone important to you. If you see you are losing ALL your teeth, or many of your teeth- this forebodes a great challenge in your future.
I seriously recommend analyzing everything in your life: school, work, friendships, relationships, family... Is everything okay? What can you do to improve things?
If an analysis reveals nothing, then it is time to seek deeper. If you believe in God or not, ask God to reveal to you the underlying issue. Ask what you need to know to avoid this. Ask to receive the answer in a dream. This is how you are receiving information now, it will be more obvious to you when the answer comes.
I dreamt of seeing inside my mouth and my left front molar began to fall off in pieces. Interestingly, I put out my hand and the pieces would fall on my hand. But I could see painlessly how the molar's broken pieces would fall. What does this mean?
ReplyDeleteReina,
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I believe this represents a loss. The tooth falling out "in pieces" means that the lost thing has several components (like a family) or else is large enough to be lost in phases, piece by piece.
Please be in prayer over this. Remember: a dream is NOT absolute, guaranteed going to happen. Most times, dreams warn us to correct our ways, to prepare our hearts, and to guide us.
I dreamed I was in an alley in a seedy area of town near where we used to live about five years ago, and a mugger assaulted me and tried to pull out my front teeth (I awoke before he succeeded.) Was terrified of him killing me. I think I must've been pressing on my front teeth in my sleep. On the bright side, I wasn't still at my parents home this time! LOL.
ReplyDeleteI had a dream last night that I lost a molar tooth on my upper left side of my mouth. I looked down at the floor and the tooth and root had fallen to my left side. (clean, bright white, and shiny) I felt around in my mouth with my tongue and found that I had another tooth missing on my lower right side.(another molar) I never saw the second missing tooth in my dream. What does this mean?
ReplyDeleteAnon,
ReplyDeleteWhen the tooth is lost, root and all, it means that whatever is represented by the tooth is permanently lost. It will not be replaced. I wonder- and this is a curiosity in my mind, not an interpretation of any sort -if the left side might represent a different "side" than the other. In my life, when a family member has suffered, or been lost, the dream was of the left side of the mouth. When finances were involved, it was the right side of the mouth.
I have personally dreamed of losing part of a molar and, in the same dream, it represented a financial loss (a customer) and my grandmother's passing. In another dream, I lost three silver teeth (and later lost three businesses) and saw a replacement tooth, made of gold.
I am still waiting for the golden business, however.
I had a dream last night about losing my newly installed bridges on the left (lower) side of my mouth, I was playing with it with my tongue and shoot it just loosened, shocked by what happened I took it out of my mouth.Then I examined it, it was so white and clean without any traces of blood. Can you help me interpret my dream?
ReplyDeleteEliza, dreams can be from the Holy Spirit, from the unholy spirit (which should be ignored), and from our own minds. Since the bridge is new, it seems likely to me that this is a dream of the mind. My first thought is that this is most likely simply the manifestation of a lot of thinking about the new bridge.
ReplyDeleteHowever, after praying, I understand that this is a dream from the Holy Spirit to comfort you and assure you that everything is okay with the new installation.
It is important to pray over the interpretation. Interpretation belongs to God! Peace to you.
Good evening sir.....
ReplyDeleteI am so blessed 2 have found ur youtube channel....I have so many questions....BUT for now I wanted 2 ask 4 ur opinion....today i woke up from a nap....and i had the strangest dream ever!... i lost 2 teeth...and they were on the bottom....i knew it was 2 because the gap was a little big big....it didnt hurt neither....in that dream I also went to a friends house and her mother told me that she died...and we were just talking ( this friend and i dont talk as of now..not because were enemies but after high school we just simply drifted apart)....also in my dream I had a family tell me that they wanted me to babysit there kids...and how they were going to bring the kids to my house....however after expecting my house they didnt like it.... they also were going to pay me a good amount of money.....then i woke up.... sir....i sometimes have the strangest dreams.. theres alot of symbolism..and it gets frustrating because I cant make nothing of it..but it bothers me.......
thank you and God Bless

ReplyDeleteYour dream seems to fit the two basic dream interpretations above: personal relationship loss & financial loss.
However, note the overarching theme of loss in the dream. I believe this is an area in need of prayer. There may be a generational curse in play. (That is what I perceive.)
what do you mean by generational curse?...and what can i do about it?....i kinda thought since my friend died in my dream that maybe it wont be a family member but perhaps a close friend or something...you know?...
ReplyDeleteWhen I was praying about it, I thought it might be an individual or group of spirits coming against your finances (too common, actually). But, this felt wrong in the spirit. Then I understood this is a generational curse. Daniel repented of "the sins of the fathers", and the exile in Babylon ended. For you, this means repenting on behalf of your forefathers. Then, break the curse and command all works of the enemy against you to cease. Here are resources:

Thank you Brother......
ReplyDeleteIm going to check those websites out...ive also decided that my sister and I are going to wake tomorrow at 5 am and fast and pray about this.... your websites and youtube channel is truly a blessing!
God Bless,

Hello, Brother...
ReplyDeleteim kinda confused.... about my dream that i told you about (2 teeth falling)...on friday morning i had another dream....in my dream i checked my phone because it was vibrating...i sat that i had a txt msg..and this is what it said: " Ur right......... get to know him , it is He that will give you victory.".....then woke up with my cellphone actually vibrating.......ok that msg said ur right....but what am i right about...that someone is going to die or is this all about some generational curse that I need to rebuke with prayer and fasting...
i have a feeling that that dream was from God.
♥ - Our God does not cut off a bruised reed or snuff out a smoldering candle. That is, those who are seeking Him are not shut off. He is not the God of death, but the God of life. For this reason, as He is calling you, it means life, not death.
ReplyDeleteJesus came to set the captives free. "The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised," (Luke 4:18, KJV)
Your dream is "calling" you to come closer to Jesus, to learn about the power to be set free. This is deliverance. You can PM me at my YouTube account: knowjesusknowpeace.
Dear Man from Modesto,
ReplyDeleteI have been studying my dreams about teeth falling out for over 10 years, I do not have them that often but when I do they are very clear, as if it is real waking life. I always wake up immediately after the dream, remember the dream exactly and document it. I believe what you have said about the significance of a loss is correct, also "not in control of a situation" I believe is the additional meaning.
Through my studies I have found that the front teeth at the top and bottom of the mouth, central incisor and lateral incisor, relate to love in a persons life. Teeth from the Canines to back of the mouth, on both sides of the jaw relate to work. Teeth from the Canines to back of mouth on both sides of the roof of the mouth relate to money.
The most recent event was a job loss, I had the dream on the 2nd of June, then I was informed of the lay off on the 14th of June, about 13 days later. Before then I hadn't had any such dreams for about 11 months, and my job had seemed stable so the news came as a total surprise. I had another on the 13th of this month, a canine on the right side of the jaw, I do not have any idea as to what it might relate to in my life at present. It was small like a tiny stone or piece of glass, and I remember thinking "I don't need it, it is good to get it out of the way".
I am sure the the state and size of the tooth also has relevance as you have touched on. My primary interest now is where these dreams come from, who instigates them? These are not lucid dreams, I am convinced I am awake, they are clear and vivid. Someone wants me to experience these as a warning, but how is it that someone can control my subconscious state to the point where it is informing me about future events?
You say "Remember that there is no set, predetermined destiny" of course we have free will, but maybe certain events, major events, happen in order to guide us along a certain path? These are shocking events, we are receiving a warning about them, as if it has already been concluded what is going to happen.
Do you think it is because of our own personal choices that these events occur?
I have recurring dreams about my teeth. Anywhere from once a month to 15 or more times a month. It is anything from all my teeth crumbling and falling out, to being loose and spitting them out. The last one I had was the worst one yet, I woke up crying. I could usually tell before in all my dreams I was dreaming, but not this one. My teeth started to move around in my mouth until all my teeth were extremely crooked and separated. After looking in my own mouth (as if I was someone else) I noticed some of the molars were actually popcorn pieces, which I took out. Then the front bottom teeth began to grow and fall out. I tried putting them back in, all the while thinking, "I should have gone to the dentist about this long ago". I then woke up in tears. It's always black and white or at least there is never any blood and never any pain. It's always me, but I seem to see my mouth as if there was a mirror there, but there isn't, or as if I'm some invisible person.
ReplyDeleteAnon, re: excessive recurring dream about losing many teeth. Note that teeth do not actually crumble, and that they some times come loose and fall out, yet other times crumble and fall out. This shows us that the dream is not actually about a future event in which you lose your teeth, or that the dream is false. A collection of dreams about a true future event will compliment each other. They will not contradict each other. So, we conclude that the dream is representative and symbolic.
ReplyDeleteNext, look at your thinking, "I should have gone to the dentist about this long ago." We have the ability to think about what we are seeing whiling dreaming and to monitor our own thoughts similar to how we "hear" our thoughts in waking life. Such thoughts really have no impact on the truth of the dream. This are mostly worthless, and can be misleading if we do not recognize them as our own thoughts, separate from the dream's content.
Also note that your lower front teeth were growing before they fell out. Human teeth don't grow, at least not in an observable way. “Teeth” in this dream represent something else that can “crumble” , become weak in the foundation, and then fall out (be lost), and can also grow.
We must remember that interpretation belongs to God. After praying about this, here is the interpretation: You are beginning many things at once. You are trying to rush. All these projects, or businesses, or doings are going to get out of your control. Some of them will grow. But, despite your efforts, you are going to lose them, just as the teeth fall out in the dream.
Move carefully and surely in life. Before you begin something, count the cost. Do you have the time, energy, and resources to complete the project? Slow down. Life requires balance. Success does not bring happiness.
Hello brother, last night I had a dream that I woke in the house where my family was, and all my teeth appeared to be breaking at the root. The teeth were loose at the root. I began to panic because the thought of loosing my teeth was frightening. I looked in the mirror and my smile was horrendous. I got dress went outside and proceeded to the dentist. In the meantime, I call the dentist and told them about my teeth and they told that each tooth would cost 55o dollars for fixing. I paniced. As the same time I began to spit out little peices of my teeth. Then when I turned around to lookl in thje mirror, my teeth appeared to be white,clean and shiny, accept for two on the left that were yellow and filled with plaque. Please help me Holy Spirit
ReplyDeleteA lot of this dream is fear. You are afraid that some things you desire to keep will be lost. This represents doubts and fears.
ReplyDeleteSeeing that all your teeth are okay shows that your fears are unfounded- that things are actually fine, or they will improve.
Even the two yellow teeth you noticed in the late part of the dream are a manifestation of fear.
The reason the cost is so high ($550)is that it is a price you cannot pay. The solution will not come from your own resources. With man, it is not possible. But, with God, all things are possible.
Pray for freedom from fear, and pray for God to remove anything He desires gone, and to protect what is yours.
Hi, I came across this post while searching for some answers. I hope you can help me if you're still responding to comments.
ReplyDeleteLast month I had two dreams of my teeth falling out. I don't remember the specifics; I didn't pay much attention to them. I do recall doing a search online about possible meanings. I read that losing teeth can be a sign of embarrassment about physical appearance. I was satisfied with this answer since I have struggled with poor self esteem for many years. But last night I had another dream that was much more vivid and I need help understanding it.
I don't remember much of the "background" or context of the dream. I remember being at a Texas BBQ country-style restaurant, seated in a secluded table toward the back. The restaurant was on a dirt road kind of in the middle of nowhere. It was evening, almost dark. My mom was seated across from me and my dad was seated next to me. There were others in the restaurant but they weren't near us.
By the time we were seated at the restaurant, I had already lost 2 teeth. I don't remember how. I remember putting napkins in my mouth to stop the bleeding. I noticed that another tooth was loose, so I tapped it and it fell out. I put another napkin in my mouth to stop the bleeding. I felt very confused as to why my teeth were falling out. My parents acknowledged it all but seemed aloof. Then another tooth started to feel loose, so I tapped it, and it, too, fell out. By this time, I was very distressed. I remember feeling panicked and helpless. I didn't want to lose my teeth and couldn't understand why it was happening. I looked at my hand and saw it holding the four teeth I'd lost, two from each side, one top and one bottom. They were intact, root and all. They were larger than I thought human teeth could be, yellowed, and damaged-looking. I remember crying and begging to be taken to the ER. I then woke up.
I don't know if this is of any significance, but I dreamed this dream after crying and praying to God that He would speak to me since I've been having a lot of trouble hearing Him. I've felt very spiritually alone and crave closeness with God, but I just can't hear Him. I don't know how to.
I'm sorry this is long. I hope you or somebody can help me. Thanks for reading.
I had a dream I was around a popular secular rapper. He had went into a booth to rap then I rapped right there from the Spirit. I was looking for a strategic way it seemed to win him for Christ. The dream shifted and it seemed like it was the end times. I was walking in an airport and my bottom teeth were falling out. I was summoned over the loud speaker by a female officer I seemed to know and she was trying to get me to get what appeared to be the mark (a chip I discerned). My Bishop had passed me to head for the exit and he was low key as he was leaving. My teeth were falling out but I managed to get a message out to him by the Holy Spirit in tongues. As he was going down the elevator he quickly interpreted and nodded his head and kept going (i meant escalator). I got away from her and was walking down the street witnessing to people.
ReplyDeleteI had a dream earlier that the Lord wanted me to evangelize on a certain corner in my city. Im wondering if they are connected somehow?
i had a dream that the three bottom teeth in the middle of my mouth we're loose. in the dream I was talking and that's how I found out they were loose. I then went to a mirror opened, my mouth and looked at them, there was one tooth in front of the other two that was way more loose than the others. as I was playing with that tooth, it fell out. I do not remember if I pulled out or if it just fell out. I then began to feel a lot of anxiety and fear and I started thinking this cannot be happening to me, I should've taken better care of my teeth. I called my mom and asked her to come in and look at it. I opened my mouth really wide in the dream and I could see my gums, everything was extra magnified. as I opened my mouth and showed her while I was looking in the mirror, I remember thinking it was not as bad as I thought it was, I thought there was going to be a huge gap in the middle part of the bottom of my mouth. I was still very upset & crying and fearful, I think I remember my mom consoling me and trying to calm me down. I don't remember which part of the dream it was but I also remember seeing the huge gap where the tooth fell out. The gap got wider and wider as I kept looking at it. I remember thinking at the end of the dream this will not be so bad or look so bad as long as the other teeth do not fall out.
ReplyDeleteI remember thinking,I really hope the other two don't fall out, and that maybe I could save them since they weren't as loose.
The dream was so vivid and clear, I know it means something. Im praying, and need help with the interpritation.
I had a dream of my two front teeth were very loose getting ready to fall out. When I touched them they swayed back and forth easily and then with just a tap they fell out. A second later a bottom tooth I believe on the left side fell out as well.I was so worried that the rest of my teeth would fall out but they seemed fine.I woke up thinking it truely happen. I was so scared and worried. A few days later I dreamed of my widom tooth on the bottom right side became loose. I wasn't expecting it to be however I wasn't afraid. It seemed pretty loose, so I wiggled it to help get it out of my mouth. It became looser, so I wiggled it with my tongue. It was realy close to comming out,but there were two seperate gum strings that would not let it it go. As I pulled on it to small gums/muscle were attached keeping it from comming out. As I pulled out it came with the long gum strings still attached. First they looked very thin, but as I looked closer to my mouth it became thick with some weight but at the tip near the tooth very thin, so I took scissores where they were togther joined in a knot at the tooth and cut it loose.The was no phiscial pain throught the dream. The took looked identical to my bottom right widsom tooth that has a filling in it and it was health and big.
ReplyDeleteIn my dream my teeth felt loose. I dreamed that I was surrounded by family outside when I realized that my front right tooth fell out. I was shocked and sad. I showed my sister and she smiled. I told her that I had to get it fixed right away. It really bothered me.
ReplyDeleteI TOOK AN EARLY NAP YESTERDAY & DREAMT THAT TWO OF MY FRONT BOTTOM TEETH HAD FALLEN OFF...I LOOKED AT THE PALM OF MY HAND AS IF I HAD SPIT THEM OUT EXCEPT NOTHING WAS THERE, I RAN TO THE RESTROOM TO SEE MYSELF IN THE MIRROR..I JUST STARTED CRYING & LOOKED UP AT THE MIRROR AGAIN & SMILE, JUST TO START CRYING AGAIN SAYING TO MYSELF HOW UGLY I LOOKED & HOW COULD I FACE EVERYONE WITH MY TEETH MISSING..SOMEHOW IM TELLING MY HUSBAND THAT I NEED TO GO GET MY TEETH DONE, THEN HE TELLS ME HOW WE DONT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY FOR THAT..I REMEMBER GETTING ALL DEPRESS, CRYING JUST SAYING HOW UGLY I AM WITHOUT MY TEETH & THAT MY KIDS WOULD BE SO EMBARRASS OF ME...I WAKE UP & IMEDIATELY GO IN THE RESTROOM TO MAKE SURE ALL MY TEETH ARE THERE..IT WAS A RELIEF TO SEE ALL WERE THERE...NOW, I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT THAT DREAM BECAUSE IT FELT SO REAL.. PLEASE HELP ME FIND OUT WHAT THIS MEAN..
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU
I believe your dream is about a realization that you had to give up other things- accomplishments... things you wanted to do- to become a mother. You want them to be proud of you. There are many things you can do and be successful at from home. Blogging and book writing are two things which can also be done in short installments and fit into a parent's schedule.
