# [The Real Impact of Missing Teeth on Your Health](https://blog.curasaninc.com/missing-teeth)

In the United States about **70% of adults are missing at least one tooth**. Usually it is a molar that is undetectable in everyday life, but *what are the effects of losing some of your teeth?*

Losing one or more of your teeth, if left untreated, *can impact much more than just your smile.* However these impacts are often hidden so we often do not realize the damage being done until more long-term effects start cropping up. One of the goals of [curasan](http://www.curasaninc.com) is to provide dental bone grafting products and services that help *restore normal function, health, and comfort to dental patients across the U.S.*

[**curasan**](http://www.curasaninc.com) **has noticed the following effects on individuals who have left their missing teeth untreated in the long-term.**

**Dietary Health**

- Poor chewing from lost teeth could result in *an inability to consume a complete and health diet*, but this is just the first in a chain of events that can lead to serious consequences. Poor nutrition from the loss of chewing function may also contribute to a number of unrelated health problems.

**Facial Changes**

- Without the support of your teeth and jawbone, your *face may change shape or appear to be prematurely aging*. In more extreme cases of tooth loss the lower half of the face actually collapses.

**Vocal difficulties**

- With the structure and support provided by a health set of teeth and well-functioning jawbone *the ability to annunciate and clearly speak is inhibited*, creating a number of issues throughout one’s daily interactions.

Whether your tooth loss is due to an accident or periodontal disease, there are treatment options and [*curasan*](http://www.curasaninc.com) *products to reverse the damage and restore your mouth to natural function and good health.* Rest assured that individuals who choose to have [curasan](http://www.curasaninc.com) dental implants have said that their dental replacement *products function just like their normal teeth.*
