Teeth falling out

Body

In the traditional reading

Almost every tradition reads this as loss. Korean practice adds a family reading keyed to which tooth fell.

From dream research

Jaw and tooth pressure from night-time grinding can bleed into the dream. Frequent dreams plus a sore jaw point to a dentist first.

Scene by scene, as it was handed down

  • A front tooth falls out — Taken as concerning someone close.
  • It falls out bleeding — Read as a warning of loss or conflict.
  • A new tooth grows in — Taken as something arriving to replace what was lost.

Dream reading is cultural symbol interpretation and does not foretell anything.
