My Teeth Keep Falling Out! Options

I have these reoccuring dreams where some of my teeth fall out. And I mean very vivid, realistic dreams where I feel a tooth is loose, no pain but I can feel it against my gums. Then either some of my teeth fall out or I end up removing them.

The dreams themselves are not always the same but the theme of loosing some of my teeth happens like 3 or more times a month. Like a few days ago I had this dream where I was totally awake and alert, in my bed lying in a way that was totally normal. I didn't even know I was dreaming. But then I notice a tooth is loose, usually on the left of my jaw. I think I chew with each side equally, but one commonallity is I loose teeth on the left side. Then I kept realizing I was dreaming, actually wake up, fall right back to sleep and have the same damn dream all over again.

I have an idea about what teeth in general mean in dreams but I curious about teeth falling out. I have not been able to find anything that sheds any light on this and am hopeing someone here might have some insights.

LOL! That would make three of us! I've been plagued at times with tooth loss dreams. I think its indicative of losing power/control but not too sure.
One of my dreams was very lucid and real and I was facing this figure dressed in a cowled robe. We were standing on the roof of an old barn. The figure was carrying a scythe and we were facing each other. I asked who he/she/it was and they laughed, pulling back the hood and I was facing myself! Whilst I looked the thing looked at me, smiled and all its teeth fell out leaving a mouth full of maggots! Decidedly not pleasant. Its face changed to the visage of Death (skeleton) and I awoke, violently. That was over thirty years ago and a half mouthful of teeth! Yikes! Being of good English stock, I inherited soft, crumbly teeth...and with the medications I'm on the teeth are dropping like flies. (Sorry for the implied pun) Ah well...the tribulations of life!
