A study has found that people with active periodontitis, or gum disease, have a greater risk of experiencing major cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes.
People who have had gum disease in the past but no longer have inflamed gums do not appear to be at greater risk.
The study suggests that gum disease leads to increased arterial inflammation, which is responsible for cardiovascular events.

More than 60 student and faculty volunteers provided free dental services to children at the Harvard School of Dental Medicineâs annual âGive Kids a Smileâ event on Saturday.
The event â which administers free dental cleanings, oral examinations, and referrals â is part of the national âGive Kids a Smileâ initiative that aims to increase accessibility to dental care.
Dental School students Ziwei Chen, Kadriye E. Hargett, and Jessica K. Murphree helped organize the event.
Chen, Hargett, and Murphree said organizers had to think of new ways to provide the same services while complying with the stateâs social distancing guidelines due to the pandemic.
