To dream about being at a dentist’s office suggests that there is occasional concern about the honesty of someone close to you. You may sense that something’s not quite right with them, but in the long term, this concern will benefit you.

To dream that someone else is being worked on by a dentist indicates that impropriety will surprise you, especially when it strikes close to home. [2]

Owning to childhood associations, dentists in dreams often symbolize anxiety and fear of pain. They represent the principle of inflicting pain “for your own good.” The primary activity of dentistry is drilling and removing decayed matter, and replacing it with new dental material an activity that, in a dream, may be a metaphor for other situations in one’s life. [3]
A dentist repairs the teeth and thus may remark on the need to drill to the root of a problem that is causing you to lose power in your life. He or she may come to help you with the issue of communicating more concise information or becoming a more effective communicator.

A dentist may also arrive with the literal message to take better care of your teeth. [4]

To dream of a dentist working on your teeth, denotes that you will have occasion to doubt the sincerity and honor of some person with whom you have dealings.

To see him at work on a young woman’s teeth, denotes that you will soon be shocked by a scandal in circles near you. [7]

Dreams of a dentist symbolize that there is an incomplete communication between you and an associate, friend or lover. Your subconscious mind is prompting you to forgive, make amends, and/or cultivate a healthier and more effective way of communicating.
