Teeth are a vital part of the body: with them we can chop food and ingest it: with healthy teeth we can bite hard. At the same time, we can use our teeth as a weapon and defend ourselves with them. Today, they are also an important status symbol: healthy, straight, white teeth that are synonymous with wealth and attractiveness. Dreaming of teeth has a strong meaning.
It is a common misconception that people with diseased or rotting teeth and chronic caries problems are neglected and resigned. Because no one can do anything about their genetic predispositions. Conversely, there are those people who rarely use the toothbrush, but who naturally have white and healthy teeth.
And there are those people who clean their teeth regularly and carefully, but who are always a permanent patient at the dentist, who suffer from tooth discoloration and defects or who have braces or dentures.
Grinding your teeth during sleep can also lead to long-term abrasion of the tooth substance, destruction of tooth enamel and therefore problems: a splint placed over the row of teeth can help.
