I had dreams about my teeth breaking off since I was a child.....then they realized that I was grinding my teeth in my sleep. That was before they had anything the used to protect the teeth (I am now 57).

The worst part was that my teeth formed with bad enamel due to illness during the time they were forming (high temperature & antibiotics caused this) along with the fact that I inherited bad teeth from my dad (lucky me!!!!).

The worst part about those dreams is that now, my teeth are breaking off. There was no way that they could save them or fill them enough. All the old fillings fell out & the teeth had already been cracking from the teeth grinding. When I talked to a pain psychologist a few years ago, he said that antidepresants will also cause you to clench your teeth.

Sadly, those dreams I had did show what the future of my teeth ended up being. I have to have them all pulled & get dentures. Dentistry is so much better today than when I was growing up....they can protect what they didn't in the past.

I would definitely ask someone if your anxiety is causing you to grind your teeth.....as that could be the point you are dreaming the dream?

Just a thought based on my not so good real life experience.
