Dreams of losing teeth are startlingly common. Psychologically they tend to surface during periods of anxiety about how others see us: fear of embarrassment, of aging, of losing attractiveness or persuasive power. Teeth are how we bite into the world — losing them can mean feeling powerless.
In Anatolian and other folk traditions, a falling tooth is read as news about one's household or relatives, painful or painless according to how the tooth came out. Whichever lens you choose, this dream invites you to ask where you feel you are losing strength, and to care gently for that place.
