I was reading a free paper on the train this morning and see that they have confirmed a link between gum disease and heart health.

Strange, upon a recent visit to my dentist I was told that I had gum disease + a lot of bacteria in my mouth, that could be cured with 2 deep cleans. When I asked if this could be causing me to be feeling rough she said no. So gum disease can cause heart disease, then logically why cant it make one have general feelings of malaise?
