Yahoo! News - Periodontal Bacteria Linked to Heart Disease: "NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People who test positive for bacteria that cause periodontal disease also have increased thickness of the carotid artery, which suggests there is a direct relationship between periodontal infection and atherosclerosis, investigators report."
