Cultural context

Teeth in dreams — decline and uncertainty

In Thai tradition, teeth symbolise strength and beauty. Losing them in a dream may be read as concern about ageing or self-confidence. New teeth growing in their place are traditionally associated with positive change.

Broken or cracked teeth may traditionally be read as a reminder about oral health. Symbolically, they may also suggest words one regrets saying or a secret coming to light.
