Absolutely! Without teeth, the varieties of food we could eat would be extremely limited. Nothing hard, crunchy, or bigger than a dime.
That eliminates most fruits and vegetables, fiber, and meats are pretty much out of the question. Consequently, our nutritional status would not be what it is.
A study published several years ago indicated that people who wear full upper and lower dentures (edentulous) have a life expectancy five full years less than people with all natural teeth. The authors speculated that the difference was a result of lower nutrition in those who had dentures.
If you want to know how limiting having no teeth would be, spend a week only eating those foods that you can suck through a straw. If you want, go ahead and use an electric blender. See how yummy bacon and eggs taste after passing through a Cuisinart.
