What is it about teeth dreams? Why do so many people have them? What’s so damn special about teeth? Why don’t people commonly dream about their eyelids or fingernails?
I’ve had my share of teeth dreams. A lot of people report that their teeth fall off, but in my dreams, I pull mine out.
Here’s one I had a few days ago:
I feel a dull ache from one of my teeth. My gums are inflamed and sore. The tooth feels chipped and crumbly, so I decide to get it over with and yank it out myself. I tug at my tooth in slow, smooth movements, but it’s not working so well. Finally, after a long time of pulling, the tooth starts to come out. But it’s a lot longer than I thought. When I finally get the tooth out of my aching gums, I realize that it’s the size of a sabretooth!
I stare at it in horror, feeling like a freak and that I’ve disfigured myself. The pain has subsided, but I know that I’ve got to see a dentist and it’s going to cost me an arm and a leg.

I think your questions are so funny, but so true. I'm definitely one of the ones that have had the teeth-falling-out dreams. For me, these dreams usually occur when something unpleasant is happening in my life. Hope that's not the case for you...or, are you due for a dental check-up soon? (ugh!)
