Dreams of teeth falling out?

Question

I constantly (at least once a week) dream about my teeth falling out. Sometimes I pull them out, and sometimes they just fall out on their own. Sometimes they all fall out and there are fresh teeth underneath. Sometimes the ones that fall out are full of decay or even full of items(?!) They are rarely bad dreams, strangely enough. What could this mean??

I read that type of dream signifies a lack of self confidence over something happening in your life. Also, if you swallow them in the dream, supposedly you could be pregnant.
