Dentist
To dream of a dentist at work on your teeth once foretold not pain but doubt — occasion to question the sincerity or honor of someone you were dealing with; at a young woman's chair, a scandal stirring close by. The figure is someone granted intimate access to a tender part of you, and the unease is whether they can be trusted with it. Perhaps the dream asks: who has their hands in your affairs right now — and are you certain of them?

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for dentist, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of a dentist working on your teeth, denotes that you will have occasion to doubt the sincerity and honor of some person with whom you have dealings.
To see him at work on a young woman's teeth, denotes that you will soon be shocked by a scandal in circles near you.
