Dreaming of pulling a tooth or molar is distinct from teeth simply falling out, and interpreters treated the deliberate removal with care. A molar in particular was often linked to a close relative, so its extraction carries specific meanings.
Quick Answer
Pulling a tooth or molar in a dream is often read as the removal of a worry or the resolution of a matter — or, in other contexts, as loss, parting from a relative, or spending; pain and blood, and which tooth, refine whether it leans relief or loss.

Removal: Relief or Loss
Pulling a tooth can be read two ways depending on the dream. As a deliberate, painless removal it may signify the lifting of a worry, the end of a problem, or relief. With pain, blood, or distress, it can lean toward loss, parting, or the spending of something valued.
Teeth as Relatives
In the classical tradition teeth — and molars in particular — were often associated with close relatives. Extracting a molar was therefore sometimes connected to a parting from, or a matter concerning, a family member, with the surrounding details guiding the reading.
Pain, Blood, and Which Tooth
Interpreters weighed the particulars: a painless extraction is generally gentler than a bloody, painful one; and which tooth was involved could add nuance. As always, the dreamer's own circumstances complete the meaning.
