Is there a link between gum disease and heart attacks?

February 21st, 2012
Q.

Hi, as a child I suffered a lot of heart palpitations and received a lot of advice on how to prevent them and have a ‘healthy heart’ in order to help. however recently I wondered, is there an established link with gum disease and heart attacks? I heard comment of this on TV recently? cheers
