So I know that getting gingivitis can cause heart disease and stroke but when people tell you that information they never tell you how or why which is really baffling. You'd think if someone is stating a fact they tell you the reason why. So how is this all connected? why do you get heart disease and/or stroke from gingivitis?

The answer to your question is still be researched. There are various studies showing that people with bad gum disease have a greater chance of stroke or heart disease. The research is not definitive on exactly why at this point. It is thought that there are various inflammatory responses that are caused by the bad gum health and that these inflammatory responses act on the arteries and may damage them which could lead to stroke.

heard of foci of infection? These become source of infection. People who already have heart valve replaced needs to be more careful. The infection in the gums can travel to the heart & cause infective endocarditis
