Dentist

To dream of going to the dentist could suggest one of two things. For people who fear dentists, have poor hygiene or perhaps need to book an appointment could dream of a dentist. The dentist may also be a symbolic meaning of an attempt to fix or correct aspects of your inner world – communication, strengths and confidence levels. Positive dreams are often mirrored when the dentist is cleaning your teeth, an omen that implies you are removed negative elements of your past. A dentist is also known to pull out teeth or drill holes in them only to get your attention. See article for more details.

Symbolic of the need to work on your choice of words, Prov. 16:24, 27 NLT

The character that pulls or fixes your teeth is associated with the side of you that cares for 'what happens with the mouth,' like expression. If pain or blood is involved, the dream is exploring the idea of painful communication, where 'pulling teeth' symbolizes your frustration and inability to change your expression. Associated with teeth, it can also represent enlightenment. See Teeth under Anatomy and Body Parts, and the Wise Man and Wise Woman under Archetypes and Universal Characters.
