Teeth Dreams
In the Bible, teeth are a common metaphor for lack of personal power, e.g. in Psalm 3:7 "Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheek; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly."
In Mathew 8:12 Jesus used teeth to represent the despair of the unsaved: "While the sons and heirs of the kingdom will be driven out into the darkness outside, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth." However, this passage on the faith of centurion concludes with the remote healing of a servant boy, due to the centurion's powerful faith Matthew 8:13 "Then to the centurion Jesus said, Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed. And the servant boy was restored to health at that very moment."
From a Biblical perspective, dreams of loose, broken or decaying teeth represent awareness of our lack of power of individuals and a longing for the power of Jesus, through which as Paul says, we can do all things.
