It's also been suspected for several decades that gum disease might be
a risk factor for cardiovascular health.

Harvard Medical School letter "Gum disease and heart disease: The common thread - How plaque on your teeth may be connected to plaque in your arteries". Match 2018 :-
https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart...-common-thread

In chatting to a family member who is a dentist, he said that in his twenty-seven years of practice, it is very common to have a patient
present with gum disease who has also acquired other serious health issues. So he wasn't surprised that there is likely links with
Alzheimer's, myocardial infarction and general well-being.
