Dreams of losing a tooth or teeth are very common. Teeth represent our 'bite' or aggressive nature. When we can't get our teeth into something, it suggests that we have little control.
If you dream of losing your teeth, it has to do with 'loss' in general such as loss of youth and all things associated with our anxiety of getting older. A rotten tooth is a symbol of our painful feelings that keep 'aching' until we find relief. Could it be that your relationship or 'bond' with someone is hurting? Perhaps you've said hurtful words that you now regret? False teeth clearly indicate fear of losing one's sense of true self; that is, honesty and integrity. Look at all the images in the dream, such as grinding teeth or teething troubles, to determine the correct meaning.

Understanding Dreams and their Messages
Teeth are symbols for family and relatives upper ones are male and lower ones are female.Front teeth are sibling and kids and molar teeth are parents or grand parents.The others are uncles and aunts.
If the teeth fell and were in your hand or were beside you , it means they will come to visit you.
If the teeth were lost or fell in the soil , dirt means there will be a serious danger for them.

If you dream about losing teeth this simply means you will loose something valuable or close to you. (This could also be a person or pet.)
Another interpretation could mean you are nervous about something and you should talk to someone about it. (Losing teeth or a tongue in a dream is a symbol of not wanting to talk about something, but you should because it is unhealthy.)
*******
(1) Teeth may be a symbol of aggressiveness. If the dream is showing someone biting someone else, it may mean there is an aggressive nature towards that person.
(2) False teeth may symbolize insincerity.
(3) Losing teeth may symbolize a feeling of - or fear of - getting older or impotent or losing sexual attractiveness. Or they may represent a retreat to infancy (when, toothless, you enjoy your mother's breasts and nourishment), and hence a refusal to face reality. Alternatively, they may symbolize the start of a new phase in your life (knocking a tooth out sometimes featured in male initiation rites in mythology).
(4) A bad tooth may represent a painful or rotten part of one's feelings, life or relationships; angry or regretful words.
(5) "Teeth" in the dream world are most often an archetypal image of the dreamer's sense of confidence and competence in the waking world. Dreaming that there is something amiss with my teeth usually points to insecurities about my ability to "get my teeth into it," or maybe I've "bitten off more than I can chew."

Another possibility:
The symbolic meanings are very possible. There may also be a more direct implication to your dream: you may have a dental problem of which your conscious mind is not yet aware.
Sigmund Freud thought that dreams of teeth falling out represented an unconscious desire to masturbate.
Another Possibility:
In Native American folklore, teeth falling out in a dream means you may be coming into an involvement with money. It is said that the involvement may be beneficial or harmful but the events in the dream may not specify which will happen.

Yes.
Believe it or not visit your dentist because you might have a problem there. Maybe an infection or the wisdom teeth which are really mollars need to be extracted for lack of room to grow them.
They are called "eights" ~ extra wisdom teeth, which is uncommon. I had 2 on my upper set which I had removed. Consider yourself "special"=) I also have two more wisdom teeth in upper part
Not to. Do not attempt to pull your own wisdom teeth. It is dangerous and can be extremely painful. Unless you are a dentist, you do not have the proper means or knowledge of pulling and caring for the removal of a wisdom tooth.
Not necessarily. Teeth tend to become more crowed as we age, especially the lower front teeth. This happens in some people regardless of whether they have wisdom teeth or not. Therefore, removing the wisdom teeth, solely for the purpose of hoping to get naturally straighter teeth, won't work.
Jana and Jill had their wisdom teeth removed.
Extraction is numbing your area and pulling your tooth. Surgery is having incisions and usually be put out to get teeth out.
if you fall and break an arm or have a car wreck or get your wisdom teeth pulled basically if you hurt yourself.
