I know you are just being sarcastic, Anonymous, but your comment isn't helpful to anyone.
Periodontal disease means your gums are not intact, thus giving bacteria an entry into your bloodstream. If you have any debris in your heart thanks to arrhythmias or other heart issues, that bacteria can stick to the debris, causing cardiac problems or infections. That is in addition to the inflammation angle.
This is not new information, and a snarky remark mentioning Down syndrome just isn't helpful. But thanks for visiting the site.
