My tooth related reoccurring nightmares began when I was in junior high. They started with the excitement of getting my braces off as a thirteen year old. It turns out that the event that I'd been counting down to for so long was the beginning of my troubles.
I was given a retainer that I was told to wear day and night, but when I went on a two-week vacation with my family I committed the cardinal sin. I left my retainer at home. Perhaps subconsciously I did that on purpose, but if that's the case, that was only the beginning of my subconscious problems.
The night that we returned home from our trip I brushed my teeth and put in my retainer as I had been instructed. It was obvious that just in that two-week period my teeth had taken advantage of their newly found freedom. The discomfort of wearing my retainer was a sure sign that my teeth needed some readjusting.
That night I slept horribly. I kept dreaming that when I pulled out my retainer all my teeth came out with it like a set of dentures or something. I wish that my subconscious would have come up with the idea to fix the problem by dreaming about dental implants in Oklahoma City.
I was relieved to discover when I woke up that all of my teeth were still firmly planted in my gums and doing just fine, but unfortunately for the past 15 years I've sporadically had reoccurring dreams about losing my teeth that are quite disturbing.
Curiosity got the best of me, and I did a little bit of research about what these dreams could possibly mean. You may be surprised to hear that dreams about teeth are very common, and a lot of research has been done on them. I will share a few different tooth dream theories with you.
The first theory is that these types of dreams are signs of personal insecurities. Just like we would feel self-conscious without our teeth, we must be facing something in our conscious lives that we are subconsciously feeling insecure about. Often this is related to being indecisive or not being sure that you are making the right decision about something.
Another theory is that just as our teeth are a permanent part of us that is being separated from the whole in our dreams, we are facing some sort of separation or change in our lives that we are uncomfortable with and it is causing us subconscious anxiety.
A third reason that these people have these dreams is that they actually are experiencing some kind of pain or discomfort regarding their teeth or mouths. A tooth dream could in actuality be a sign that you need to make an appointment with your dentist.
If you've ever had a tooth dream you may consider these three theories and see which one fits your situation the best. It could be that dental implants in Oklahoma City could solve your tooth dream problems altogether, helping to ease tooth pain and discomfort while helping you to overcome insecurities regarding dentures at the same time.
