Seeing a rotten tooth in a dream: what does it mean in Islam?

Seeing a rotten tooth in a dream points, in the tradition of dream interpretation, to a matter in the family or with one of your loved ones that needs attention, since teeth are interpreted as family and close circle. A rotten tooth is generally interpreted as a relative's trouble, a hurt between you, or a situation that bothers you. A rotten tooth being pulled or treated is a good detail that points to being freed from this hardship.

• Call relatives you have not called for a while, and mend any estrangements.

Allah knows best the truth of dreams.
