The article:

Two quotes from article:
"The more severe the gum disease, the thicker and harder the walls of the arteries. This is true even for young, healthy adults with no other symptoms of heart problems. Narrowing of the arteries (or atherosclerosis) is a key component of heart disease."
"scientists are finding more and more links between oral health and conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, preterm labor, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and even certain types of cancer."
