Absolutely: Loose or missing teeth or broken teeth that irritate the tongue can cause problems with enunciation. Have a dentist take a look

Definitely, yes: Teeth misalignment, missing teeth, broken teeth or teeth that do not have the proper normal bite is one of the many causes of speech impediments. See your dentist and speech therapist for evaluation, diagnosis and treatment.
