Heart Disease andGum Disease

It has long been suspected by researchers that gum disease may contribute to heart disease. The theory is that because gum disease is bred through bacteria, the bacteria that enters the body from the mouth damages blood vessels causing heart disease. The research continues to go on to find a true connection to this theory.
