Dreamed of having a loose tooth yesterday. My wife's family - and my family - have relatives who believe such a dream means that someone in the family is about to die. The odd thing about that is I think it's happened before. Bizarre coincidence and superstition are the most likely explanations.....Aren't they?
This is some of what I found........

Common interpretations of losing teeth in dreams: Death and fear of aging
"Until the end of the 20th century, it was common to interpret losing teeth in dreams as a sign of the future death of a family member. This meaning associated with the loss of a tooth or teeth in a dream is held in various traditions, including traditional Chinese and some native American dream interpretations.
More recently, a more symbolic interpretation is preferred to present losing teeth in dreams as a representation of the dreamer’s fear of aging. The idea of death is still present, but the interpretation focuses now more about the dreamer’s concern over her own death and lack of control over the process of aging.
Dreaming of losing teeth: Symbol of a new start
A positive interpretation for losing teeth in dreams associates tooth loss imagery with giving birth to something new in your life. Jung, one of the most influential psychologists of the 20th century at the origin of Jungian dream analysis, suggests that, especially for women, dreaming about losing a tooth or teeth relates to birthing.
In the field of contemporary dream analysis, the imagery of losing teeth can be understood symbolically as the process of starting something new like a project, a relationship or changing habits both for men and women."
