These infectious and damaging agents can trigger the immune system which in turn produces chemicals called cytokinens. The liver then produces chemicals called C-reactive proteins (CRP) and finally fibrinogen is released. Oral infections, especially gum infections, can be the cause of these increased levels of infection markers.

The initial studies of the effects of gum disease on the body were related to heart disease. With gum disease present the oral bacteria can attach themselves to the plaque and fatty acids that line the coronary arteries and then increase the build up in these arteries which are critical to heart function. They can also cause blood clots to form in the coronary arteries. This has been sho
