from Dictionary of Dreams
loose teeth ; failure, bad tidings , loss of status
teeth falling out ; crushed pride , breakup of love affair
spitting out teeth ; illness of self or family
It is not uncommon for people to grind their teeth when tense or anxious or seeking comfort ie as from chronic pain . This can result in wearing down the enamel and painful TMJ which radiates down the jaw to the shoulder and up to cause a headache . This is one reason for nightmares about the teeth . Another factor can be a Freudian desire to be suckled to be comforted so the palet instinctively works over time while sleeping . None of us really want to go back home to be a baby again in our mother's arms but we do hunger for love and for nourishment . So teeth crumbling in a dream can mean we find no sweetness in life , no succor .
Losing teeth can also be pregnosticative meaning loss of face , stature , position , or friends . So value the right things and the right people in your life . Take time out to count your blesssings , destress , smell the roses and do what harms no other but makes you happy . Life is Good.
