  • Gum disease and heart disease

    There may be association between periodontal disease (gum disease) and heart disease. The plaque of the coronary arteries are different from the dental plaque. Plaque in the coronary arteries starts from deposition of cholesterol in the wall of the coronary arteries. People with periodontal disease are more prone to develop plaque in the coronary arteries. One of the theories is that periodontal disease produces more inflammatory reaction in the body. This may be linked to greater likelihood of more cholesterol deposition in the coronary arteries.
