Hi Carly -
Teeth falling out dreams are very common. Except when you actually are worried about your teeth - i.e., bridgework, root canals, etc. - they usually relate to concerns about appearance or about growing older and losing one’s health - and/or beauty. In your case though, because your teeth began to shatter every time you talked, your dream may be related to a nervousness - generally - about speaking in public, or about something specific you may have said. Did you recently say (or do) something to a friend, lover or family member that you wished you hadn’t?
It is a curiosity of dreams that concerns about appearance are represented so consistently through this metaphor. We often forget how important our smile is in our presentation to others. What’s the message of this dream? If you said (or did) something that you wish you hadn’t, make an effort to tell the person you said it to that you are sorry - and that you feel like you shouldn’t have said what you did. If you’re worried about your physical attractiveness to others - remember that true beauty radiates from the inside out - and will be appreciated by all the people you ever want to know in this life.
