The bacteria that infect the gums and cause gingivitis and periodontitis also travel to blood vessels elsewhere in the body where they cause blood vessel inflammation and damage; this increases the risk of tiny** blood clots (CAD), atherothrombosis, heart attack and strok**e may follow.
A reduction in perio-pathogens is linked with lowered CRP inflammatory mediators, lowered fibrinogen levels, which prevents the risks of CVD issues.
