Teeth in a dream usually represent a fear, anxiety, or low self esteem. In most cases, the teeth falling out, rotting, or being destroyed, represents a major issue with the way one views the self and the physical image. Even healthy teeth in a dream are usually expressing some kind of anxiety or nervousness.
