Losing teeth (or a tooth) in a dream is a bad omen which symbolizes the loss of something or someone important to you (e.g., family members or friends) and it can mean illness, job loss, departure or even death. For example, if you dream of losing a tooth, it means someone close to you (usually family member) will get ill or die – upper teeth symbolize an elder or someone of higher rank whereas lower teeth symbolize a junior or someone of lower rank. If an ailing tooth falls out in the dream, it means an ill acquaintance dying. Loss of multiple teeth in the dream means a lot of difficulties looming ahead. Loss of all the teeth in the dream means your plan will go completely awry and you will have to do it all over again.
