Psychology
A gold tooth mends weakness with something valuable: a wish to turn flaws into strengths or be respected. Feeling embarrassed by it points to sensitivity to others' eyes.
Folklore and history
Gold has long meant wealth and permanence, so gold teeth are tied to money and status. Being in the mouth, they may also mean your words will draw attention.

This site's view
In this site's view, ask whether it showed when you smiled. Gleaming freely: your worth reaches others naturally. Hidden: you are not yet at peace with what you gained. A dull gold tooth warns against hollow wealth.
Going deeper: our reading
Gold resists corrosion and is easy to work, so it was long used in dental treatment. Some fondly remember a grandparent's gold tooth glinting when they laughed. Today, white materials are more common. In this site's reading, the gold tooth dream overlaps with a shift in the times: a mark of past prosperity that now looks a little old-fashioned. When the values your parents cherished no longer seem to fit, the heart may reflect that confusion in a gold tooth's shine. Seeing one in a grandparent's or parent's mouth suggests you are recalling their struggles and way of life. Feeling proud of your own gold tooth suggests you are ready to put what you inherited to use. This is our speculation, but feeling a little sheepish means you are seeking a balance between old values and a new self.

Getting to a haunted spot over mountain roads or unpaved surfaces makes a gravel- or nail-caused flat more likely. A compact compressor that runs off the cigarette lighter socket lets you top up air on the spot, and doubles for a spare tire, a bicycle, or a ball.
