I've had many dreams where I'm having oral surgery done at the dentist. I don't need any dental work done in waking life, so why do I keep having these dreams?
Dreams about dental work or oral surgery typically symbolize a fear or anxiety related to communication or the need to express oneself. It's possible that you're experiencing underlying stress or anxiety in your waking life that's causing you to have these dreams. The dental work or surgery in the dream may represent the need to figuratively "open your mouth" and speak your truth, but feelings of fear or discomfort may be holding you back. Alternatively, this dream could simply be a reflection of a fear of dental work or surgery in your subconscious mind. It's important to explore any feelings of anxiety or fear you may have in your waking life to better understand the root cause of these dreams.
