For many centuries, people have observed the events that manifest themselves after some extraordinary event. It is modern people, as soon as a tooth hurts, they know that this is a possible sign of caries, and they should go to the doctor to eliminate the cause.
Healthy teeth are the basis for a good life
Our ancestors lived in a healthy environment, instead of sugar they consumed natural honey and ate fish. The result is good teeth throughout your life. Everyone knew that all events in life are not accidental, and happen by the will of God. The same applied to teeth - breaking or losing a tooth meant the onset of changes in fate, and often unpleasant ones.
Teeth represent health and longevity. Ancient people rarely suffered from dental diseases, so they considered sudden pain or tooth loss a harbinger of illness or separation from their other half. Long-term observations confirmed the fulfillment of predictions. Listening to signs does not prevent contemporaries, especially those who have healthy teeth. Knowledge will help correct mistakes and avoid misfortunes. Let's look at existing signs about teeth.
Sign about baby teeth
Give the baby tooth to the mouse
When a child gets his first tooth, there are signs and customs. If a baby was born with teething, it was considered a mark of the devil, especially if it had fangs. It was believed that such a child would soon die or become a sorcerer.
The family observed the germination of teeth - if the upper incisors appeared first, then we should wait for the appearance of the second child. There is a well-known tradition of giving a baby tooth to a mouse so that it takes it away, and in return it is given a new good one.
Many parents keep their children's lost baby teeth. This is not recommended so as not to slow down the growth of teeth. You should not lick wounds after incisor teeth fall out. In Ancient Rus', they performed a ritual: they held a child’s fallen milk tooth in their hand, stood with their back to the stove, and asked to replace the bad tooth with a healthy molar. After the words were spoken, the old tooth should be thrown over the shoulder into the fire. It was believed that if burning was not carried out, a sharp crooked tooth could grow in place of the lost one.
There is a belief that if a child often cries when teeth emerge, this portends an absurd, capricious character.
In Germany and England, it was also not customary to throw away extracted baby teeth - they were sprinkled with salt and burned. The sign is associated with the belief that sorcerers collect human teeth, hair, and nails to perform dark rituals. Burning in a fire prevented biological material from falling into evil hands.
Scientific approach
If folk wisdom clearly indicates that it is impossible to keep fallen or pulled out teeth at home, then modern science has a different opinion. From a hygienic point of view, they are absolutely safe, since they do not contain any traces of flesh. They can be equated to such parts of the human body as nails and hair: esoteric beliefs prescribe burning them, since through these biological materials one can influence their former owner, but the vast majority of citizens still throw them in the trash.
However, given the latest scientific discoveries, thoughtless disposal of baby teeth is a very irrational act. Recently, British scientists began extracting stem cells from their pulp. Frozen material can be stored in a special jar for about 30 years and, if necessary, used to treat cancer, diabetes, stroke and other serious diseases.
Unlike materials obtained from umbilical cord blood, stem cells from baby teeth are more viable and are used to treat not only blood diseases, but also diseases of internal organs, including the brain. In addition, they can be extracted not only at birth, when there are already enough worries and expenses, but at a later age: from 6 to 12 years.
Gap between teeth
A gap is characteristic of cheerful people.
According to Zoroastrians, a gap between teeth is a sign of heavy ancestral karma.
But, despite the prediction, those with a gap between their front teeth have a cheerful character. They are predicted to have great success in life and popularity. Women with gaps in their teeth are romantic and sexy, while men are perky and charming. The gap between the teeth represents a sensitive nature, capable of enjoying life and pleasing others.
If the above descriptions are positive, then the signs also have negative traits: people with gaps are considered stupid, frivolous, irresponsible, striving for carnal pleasures. And people who have sparse teeth are considered harmful and deceitful.
Other beliefs
Based on which tooth fell out or lost its integrity, village healers gave people advice on where problems await them. Losing a lateral incisor is a warning sign that you may become seriously ill.
If your front tooth breaks off on its own, the sign recommends that you prepare for troubles in your personal life. If someone knocks out this tooth, popular beliefs promise you generous compensation: a new promising job, increased prosperity. Other signs:
- a gap between the teeth is a trait of leaders, charming and honest people;
- sparse teeth are a sign that their owner is harsh;
- small teeth speak of a person’s cunning;
- owners of frequent teeth are cheerful and amorous;
- if you grind your teeth in a dream, you are being damaged;
- In the old days, a person who has double teeth was considered a urochnik, that is, capable of casting the evil eye.
Signs about wisdom teeth
Dentists recommend removing wisdom teeth.
Modern dentists consider wisdom teeth to be superfluous and do not perform any functions. They often grow abnormally, so they are removed. Since ancient times, wisdom teeth were considered a sign of protection for the birth. If they did not appear at all, this is a bad sign, indicating a lack of support from the spirits of the family.
Wisdom teeth grow in between the ages of 18 and 27. Early appearance for girls predicted a quick marriage, and for boys - an arrangement in a good business. The eruption of wisdom molars is associated with upcoming changes in life. Since ancient times it has been believed that the more painful and lengthy the process, the more pleasant the changes. It is believed that those suffering from such pain will be lucky in love and in the professional field.
Growing wisdom teeth during pregnancy means that the unborn child will be smart, and falling out is a bad sign. Before the wedding is a warning about the commercialism of the future half. If a wisdom tooth erupts before an important task, this indicates his future success. The painful germination of rare and small wisdom teeth warns of betrayal.
Your wisdom tooth hurts - maybe you refused a gift from fate?
If your wisdom tooth hurts, then this is a signal that you are refusing protection and gifts of fate. The appearance of the 5th tooth is rare, and indicates that the owner is chosen, or belongs to dark forces. There is a belief that if the gums become inflamed before a trial, then all controversial issues will be easily resolved.
Morning pain in a tooth portends a difficult day, contact with unpleasant people. But aching pain at night, and two more teeth, promises a promising acquaintance. Tingling in the gums at night promises quarrels, conflicts, and a change of environment.
The removal of wisdom teeth was considered a bad omen. You must ask the doctor for the extracted tooth and keep it at home, like a talisman. In the old days, a mother would place such a tooth under her daughter’s pillow before her first menstruation, and a father would place it under his son’s. This action protected children from mistakes when communicating with the opposite sex.
Sick wisdom teeth can be cured
If wisdom teeth hurt, they were not removed, but spoken to. Gypsies do not attach much importance to pulling out a diseased tooth, but consider it obligatory to bury it on the grave of its namesake - this should bring wealth in six months.
Regarding extracted teeth, the following regulations exist:
- burn;
- bury in the garden so as not to be subject to witchcraft;

- bury in a cemetery to receive the protection of ancestors.
Partial destruction of a wisdom tooth indicates that a person bears the burden of the sins of his parents.

How to remove a rotten tooth root while preserving the crown
A tooth in which only the root remains is not always pulled out entirely. For example, if an inflammatory process develops at the root apex, but the tooth itself can still be saved, resection of the root apex is performed - partial removal.
The procedure is carried out after filling the canals, under local anesthesia. The operation is simple and lasts no more than half an hour. Its main stages:
- Anamnesis collection.
- Preparation of the surgical field.
- Anesthesia.
- Cutting the gum to access the root.
- Delamination of soft tissues.
- Sawing out a “window” in the bone.
- Cutting off the inflamed area of the root with a granuloma or cyst.
- Placing drugs into the cavity that stimulate bone growth.
- Stitching.
Signs about a sick and broken tooth
A broken tooth is a sign - perhaps you did the wrong thing.
Teeth hurt - this is a warning about rash actions and words, a possible quarrel. Pain and broken teeth portend illness. And if a pregnant woman’s tooth breaks, she will have a son.
A piece of your wisdom tooth has broken off; this is a sign of a generational curse; you are carrying the burden of the sins of your ancestors on your shoulders. If your click was broken in a fight, this may indicate that your guardian angel has turned away from you, and you should reconsider your lifestyle and ask for forgiveness for your sins.
If a tooth breaks off, it is better to hide the fragment in a place inaccessible to people - it could be a forest, a vacant lot, and if you live in a city, you can bury it in a flower pot.
If there are root fragments left in the hole
If the wound edges were tightened with catgut, the patient’s treatment can be considered complete. If a non-absorbable material was used, the patient will have to return to the dentist to have the sutures removed after a week. During this time, it is necessary to monitor the condition of the gums, your own sensations and notify the doctor if:
- the operated areas constantly hurt;
- throbbing pain is felt.
This means that small fragments of tooth tissue, which may have gone unnoticed during extraction, rot in the hole. The doctor must prescribe a repeat X-ray for the patient, check the quality of the operation and find out the cause of the ailment. Inaction is fraught with the development of alveolitis (inflammation of the socket), osteomyelitis, phlegmon and other serious diseases.
How to neutralize a bad omen
Visiting the dentist is the best way to avoid the influence of omens.
Signs cease to work when they are not believed in. But since each of us grew up with folk beliefs, signs associated with teeth have taken root in the subconscious. Therefore, with pain and chipped teeth, many expect negative changes, thereby increasing the negative. You can neutralize bad omens using the following recommendations:
- pay more attention to your health, carefully monitor the condition of your teeth, maintain hygiene;
- during any unpleasant symptoms that predict negative changes, refuse to start large businesses and enterprises, do not enter into important transactions, refuse to invest money in dubious projects, do not make new acquaintances;
- ask for forgiveness from those whom you have undeservedly offended. If the offended person has no desire to get in touch, put the apology in writing. The main thing is that forgiveness comes from the heart. Heartfelt repentance will cleanse and strengthen your energy field;
- make peace with people with whom you have conflicts. Smooth out the rough edges, think through the situation, don’t get into arguments, go for confrontation. If you cannot improve your relationship, it is better to distance yourself from the source of aggression;
- order a prayer service in church for deceased relatives and friends, remember them.
One should not be fanatical about folk signs, since they were created at a time when people lived in different conditions. Most of our compatriots suffer from caries; children from an early age are accustomed to sugar, which leads to premature tooth damage. If you have a damaged tooth that has broken, this means that you need to visit the dentist’s office and get your teeth in order.
What to do after deletion
After any surgical intervention, you should follow all the dentist’s recommendations, as well as:
- do not eat for 2 hours after the procedure;
- cool the soft tissues of the face in the projection of the removed root;
- stop smoking for two days;
- take prescribed pain medication;
- make antiseptic applications;
- watch to see if other teeth are crumbling.
Sometimes after complex extractions, dentists prescribe antibiotics to patients. This appointment cannot be ignored - after a tooth is pulled out of the socket, a focus of infection forms in it, which can only be extinguished with the help of medications.
