Teeth in dreams in Islam often symbolize one's family, relatives, life stages, and livelihood. The upper teeth represent paternal relatives while lower teeth maternal relatives. Incisors and canines denote young male and female family members. Molars symbolize elders.

Teeth Represent One's Family and Relatives

Teeth in a dream represent one's identity, age, clan, a boy, a girl, his family, money, servants, domestic animals, employees, weapons, life, death, unity, separation, trusts, or savings. 

In a dream, male's or female's upper teeth represent the male members of one's family from the father's side, and the teeth of the lower jaw represent the female members of one's family from the mother's side.

Condition of Teeth Reflect Family Members' Situation

The condition of one's teeth reflects the situation of the members of his family. If one's incisors look beautiful and bright in the dream, they denote the power, honor and prosperity his father or uncle will gain. 

If extra incisors grow in one's mouth in a dream, it means that one's family will grow by either a new born brother or a new son. If one finds his teeth slightly deteriorating in a dream, it means a trial, or that his family will engage in a disgraceful act that will bring him shame.

Molars and Incisors Symbolize Family Members

The incisors represent the young men in the family, and the canines represent the young girls. As to the molars, they represent elderly people. The closer the teeth are to the incisor, the closer is the relative. 

Divided in two sections, the upper right incisor represents the father, and the upper left incisor represents the paternal uncle, or it could represent one's sisters, sons, or a close friend. The upper canines represent one's cousin.

Teeth Falling Out Indicate Family Member's Death



If a tooth moves in its place in the dream, it means an illness. If it falls, or if it is lost, then it means death of the person to whom it is attributed, or it could possibly mean that he will be separated from him and can no longer see him. 

If one saves his lost tooth and does not bury it in the dream, it means that someone will come forth and be to him as good as that relative. Otherwise, if he does bury it, then it means the death of his relative.

Teeth Problems Warn of Family Arguments or Disgrace

If one's teeth turn yellow or black in a dream, such a dream also represents a disgraceful act that will bring shame upon one's family. Deteriorating teeth in a dream represent weakness in one's family. Losing a tooth in a dream may imply a punishment for a wrongdoing. 

Discovering one or two cavities in one's teeth in a dream means that one may beget one or two sons. Developing bad mouth odor in a dream represents bad connotations resulting from praises one's family may receive.

Teeth Represent One's Business and Livelihood

Human teeth in a dream also represent one's business and management of his life. The incisors represent one's private life, the canine tooth represents what is semi-public, while the front incisors represent what is openly practiced, one's public character, words and deeds. 

Losing a tooth in a dream may imply a punishment for a wrongdoing. Replacing a tooth with a bridge in a dream means recovering losses, or balancing one's business. Having an extra tooth in a dream means losing one in wakefulness.
