They in dreams indicate the end of the term of life and the age that has been decreed for a person, and all the teeth indicate children.

And the teeth indicate deposits held in trust and secrets.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, pp. 177–179

The teeth are the members of a person's household: the upper ones are the men on his father's side, and the lower ones are the women on his mother's side. The nearest of them to the front incisors are the closest of them in kinship.

Ta'tir al-Anam fi Ta'bir al-Manam, pp. 177–179
