Psychological
Freud–Jung analytic tradition & modern dream research
In psychological dream analysis, Teeth falling out in a dream is usually read less as a prediction and more as a mirror of your inner state. The image often carries something valuable slipping out of reach, and analysts in the tradition of Freud and Jung would ask what part of your waking life it echoes.
Read positively, the sign suggests a signal from the mind asking you to slow down and re-order priorities. It appears most often around a farewell, an ending or a fading connection, when the mind is sorting what matters from what merely presses.
There is also a cautionary reading: the image can reflect disorientation while old certainties dissolve. If the dream felt heavy or ended badly, take it as an invitation to look honestly at that pressure, not as a verdict.
As always, your own associations matter most: notice what Teeth falling out means to you personally, and let the details of the dream refine the reading.
