The Powerful Message of the "Reverse" of Teeth Falling Out
While dreams of teeth falling out are read as symbols of anxiety and loss, dreams of teeth growing can be read as carrying exactly the opposite message. Not losing, but gaining. Not declining, but growing. A dream of teeth growing can be seen as a lucky dream announcing that new strength is sprouting in your life.
Teeth are a symbol of "the power to bite." Just as you chew up food, it is the power to analyze problems, digest situations, and overcome difficulties. A new tooth growing in is thought to represent that you have gained new abilities or perspectives you did not have before.
Teeth can be read as a symbol of aggressiveness and self-assertion. A dream of teeth growing may indicate that the power of self-assertion you had been holding back is awakening. A self that can say what it could not say before, a self that can stand up to people it could not stand up to before. A new tooth can also be seen as gaining a new "power to fight."
From Baby Teeth to Permanent Teeth - A Sign That Your Stage of Life Is Changing
A dream of baby teeth falling out and permanent teeth coming in symbolizes a major switch in your stage of life. From child to adult, from student to working adult, from single to married. This dream sometimes appears when you are standing at a turning point in life.
Baby teeth are a symbol of "something temporary." The process of their falling out and being replaced by permanent teeth can be read as a shift from a provisional state to a permanent one. From a temporary home to your true home, from a temporary job to your calling, from a temporary relationship to a genuine one.
What deserves attention in this dream is the "pain" of baby teeth falling out and the "strangeness" of permanent teeth coming in. A shift in stage can come with pain and unfamiliarity. But if you read that discomfort as a sign of growth, you will likely be able to get used to your new environment, just as a new tooth eventually settles comfortably into your mouth.
Life can also be read by dividing it into a first half, a time for building a social persona, and a second half, a time for moving toward inner integration. Dreams of teeth being replaced sometimes coincide with this turning point from the first half to the second. A shift in values, from outward success to inner fulfillment, may be beginning.
The Kind of Strength You Gain Changes With Which Tooth Grows
The nature of the strength you gain differs depending on the position and type of the tooth that grows in the dream.
A dream of front teeth growing suggests an improvement in your communication skills and first impressions. The front teeth are at the center of a smile and are the teeth that stand out most when you deal with people. Your presentation skills, negotiating ability, and charm that draws people in may be increasing.
A dream of back teeth growing can be read as gaining patience and the analytical power to chew things over deeply. The back teeth have the power to crush hard things and are a symbol of the strength to work persistently on difficult problems. It suggests that you will get results in work that requires taking your time, such as research, analysis, and long-term projects.
A dream of canine teeth (eyeteeth) growing is thought to represent strengthened competitiveness and decisiveness. Canine teeth recall the fangs of carnivores and are a symbol of the sharpness to bring down prey. Sharp judgment may come into play in business competition, sports matches, and important choices in life.
A dream of wisdom teeth growing symbolizes maturity and the acquisition of wisdom. True to its name, the wisdom tooth can be read as an expression of the deep insight gained through life experience.
