Lately I've been having more dreams about losing my teeth. Most of the time no one else in the dream notices I'm losing them. In the dream from last week, my teeth didn't actually fall out, but they were too sore for me to even speak at all, so I couldn't possibly explain to people in the dream what was wrong.
I've decided to compile my internet researches together, because sadly that is the only information I can find on it. If anyone else knows anything about dreams, let me know, but basically they are all telling me the same thing: it represents insecurity of some sort. This is even more frightening than losing my perfect grin :(
=======================
Dreaming of teeth falling out may represent insecurity. These dreams often occur at a time of transition between one phase of life and another. When we lost our milk teeth, we also gradually lost our childhood innocence. Loosing your teeth therefore show that today you have similar feelings of uncertainty and self-consciousness as you did in childhood. The dream could also highlight your worries about getting older or your sexual attractiveness.http://www.dreamsleep.net/commondreams/meaning-of-teeth-dream.html
Dreams of tooth loss coupled with anxiety reflect a fear of change, fear of transition. Ask yourself if there is some transition that you are fearful of making. Sometimes tooth loss dreams point to a fear of failure or embarrassment.....Losing teeth in dreams can also point to insecurity about finances..... Tooth loss dreams may also symbolize a fear of abandonment, of being left behind with no recourse. Look at your relationships and see if any of them are leaving you with feelings of insecurity. Another interesting way of translating tooth loss dreams may be a fear of giving away too much information, a spilling of secrets, or a fear of being lied to.

I've also read a lot of the answers on these 'ask a question' sites ( http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081229114724AAjOKZi ) it seems to me like a lot of people dreaming about loosing their teeth had something awful happen to them the next day or week. Some say they dreamed it and it actually happened, their teeth fell out, some say someone close to them died the next day. Maybe it's a bad omen. I really wish I would stop dreaming it, though, I can even feel the toothaches in my dreams.
Have you ever dreamed it?
