Gum Disease Could Reveal Cardiovascular Disease
A large study has found periodontal problems including gum disease and tooth loss are possible markers for cardiovascular disease.

More than 40% of the patients had less than 15 teeth remaining…and about a quarter said their gums bled when they brushed their teeth.
