Like so many issues regarding our bodies longevity, health, resistance to disease and the many mood, psychological and emotional styles we all exhibit, I feel it's a struggle between nature and nurture. Genetics and environment. I've known people who haven't had a cavity until in their 50 s and others who have full dentures in their 30 s. It is true that oral blood vessels are abundant and medication or infection can travel throughout your body rapidly through your mouth. 😎

Yes there is a link to that. My transplant coorinator said that if you do not take care of your teeth it could absess and if I was about to do a transplant they would have to take care of the teeth first before the transplant.
