Depending on your experiences with the dentist, dreaming of being at the dentist may just be a reflection of your routine check-ups, or, it could be a complete nightmare.
A trip to the dentist isn’t a common dream, so when you do have this experience, it’s worth paying attention to.
But what is your subconscious trying to tell you? Is there a problem with your health, or is there something less obvious at work?
A dream of a dentist suggests that you need to take some time to recover from something, but this isn’t the only interpretation. Let’s take a look.
Why Am I Dreaming Of The Dentist?
If you think about it, outside routine appointments, we only go to the dentist when there is a problem. Maybe a filling has worn down, a wire has broken, or one of your teeth has decayed.
Picture a toothache. It’s awful, isn’t it? It plays on your mind constantly, and if it’s bad enough, painkillers will barely touch it. The pain radiates through your face, and it will only get worse the longer you leave it.
A dream of a dentist suggests that similarly, something in your life needs to be addressed. The longer you leave it, the worse it will get.
This could be anything, from doubting yourself or others, letting anxiety make your choices for you, struggling with a situation and letting it drag on rather than admitting that you need help.
Dreaming of being at the dentist draws attention to your mouth in the dream, so it can suggest that you have some misgivings about what people are saying, if you’re using the right words in a delicate situation, or you’re the subject of gossip.
The good news is that a dream of the dentist is you addressing the problem, rather than leaving it to fester.
The Detailed Interpretation Behind A Dream Of A Dentist
A dream where a dentist visits your house implies that you want someone to take control of a situation you’re struggling with in waking life.
You might feel that someone else will handle this delicate situation better, or the truth would be more effective coming from them.
A dentist repairing your teeth in your dream suggests that you need to take some time out from what’s stressing you out, and do something to recharge your energy.
If you feel nervous in your dream, this can reflect how you feel something won’t go your way in waking life. You’re afraid that things will go wrong.
A dentist that yanks a tooth out in your dream implies that your bank balance is about to take a hit, or you’re about to lose something important to you.
Dreaming of watching someone else being in the dentist’s chair suggests that you will be blindsided by a difficult event, where tough circumstances will affect you more than anyone else.
If you dream of being a dentist, this refers to your need to help others, or, it can imply that you are worried about hurting other people, depending on how well a job you do!
A nightmare involving a dentist, such as a dentist being unable to take out a tooth, causing you a lot of pain, or the dentist being ‘evil’ or wanting to cause you pain is a terrible dream!
It refers to anxiety or fear that has taken control of your life, and you need to find a way to regain control over your life. Think about how you might do this.
Your Dentist Dream Is A Positive Sign, If:
- You aren’t scared of being at the dentist in this dream
- The dentist is good at their job, and keeps you calm
- You feel no ‘pain’ in your dream
- The dentist fixes your teeth without any issues
Final Thoughts
While dreams of the dentist aren’t exactly pleasant, they draw your attention to things that are breaking down in your life, whether that’s your resolve, energy, motivation, health, confidence, or your relationships.
These dreams serve to help you get back on track in life, so it’s useful to look at as many details as you possibly can, as dreams that reflect problems can also give you the solutions.
