Definition & overview
In lost broken tooth dreams, damage or change to broken tooth asks what part of self feels exposed or unsupported.

- Contrast with hub — whole symbol vs lost emphasis

- Known vs unknown form — intimacy vs archetype
- Lost pressure — Absent but not ended—misplaced symbol, search panic, reunion hope before stillness.
