Stroke & Heart Attack:
Dental plaque (bacteria that live on the tooth and between the gum and the tooth) may arise from poor dental habits. If you're susceptible that plaque (which is in infection), part of fighting off an infection is an inflammatory response.
People with gum disease (inflammation of the gums, or gingivitis) are more prone to have strokes and heart attacks, Jeffcoat says. There's emerging evidence that a lot of inflammation in the vessels to the brain can make you more prone to a stroke and a lot of inflammation in the vessels to the heart can make you more prone to a heart attack.
