🦷 Why You Keep Dreaming Your Teeth Are Falling Out

Teeth falling out in dreams is one of the most searched symbols in the world — and one of the most misunderstood.

At first, it feels like loss, decay, or embarrassment. But beneath the surface, this dream often reveals much more: fear of losing control, aging, or feeling exposed.

In Eastern medicine, teeth relate to grounding, nourishment, and root energy. In psychology, they connect to self-image, communication, and deep-seated insecurity.

When teeth fall, something may be collapsing — or being cleared.

Losing teeth in a dream doesn't always mean something is ending.

Sometimes, it means you're shedding what's no longer needed to grow.

You may not be falling apart — you may be falling open.
