The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] Four years ago I survived The Widowmaker. Ive been eating a plant-based diet since then and my cholesterol numbers have been great (total cholesterol is at 101). Today I found out I have some gum issues and tooth decay that has resulted in two cavities. Can this mess in my mouth deposit enough plaque and bacteria in my system to cause another heart attack?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The gum infection or tooth infection can cause cardiac issues like infective endocarditis. Millions of microorganisms are there in the oral cavity that can be transferred to the cardiovascular system either through the blood or circulation. Consult an oral physician and get the gums cleaned and tooth restored. When the infection of gum and tooth cause the cardiac issues, why you want to take chance. Get it treated as early as possible. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
