Over thousands of years, the human experience of losing teeth is directly connected to death due to the inability to break-down and digest food.

The teeth are critical in the digestion process and allow the food to be made smaller and incorporated into the body.

Once digested, the food then enters the organs and tissues and becomes part of the human being.

The symbolic meaning of teeth – to break down and digest – also applies to psychological 'food' like ideas, attitudes, thoughts, and feelings.

If the teeth fall out in a dream it symbolically expresses the dreamer being unable to accept the psychological meaning on the dream.

The dreamer is unable to process (eat) the ideas in the dream and be changed by them (digest and incorporate).

Stress and anxiety is experienced by the dreamer and this is a sign of Neurosis – a one-sided development of personality - which the dream is trying to correct.
