Teeth Falling Out dream meaning

Dream interpretation

Teeth in dreams symbolize personal vitality, influence, control, and fear of sudden loss.

Losing a tooth is one of the most universal dreams across cultures. Psychologically, teeth represent power, self-assertion, and how securely you feel in your skin.
