Bad decayed teeth and high LDL cholesterol correlation?

Just received a list of causes from our family doctor on high LDL levels and cholesterol that can cause heart disease and heart attacks and stroke..
A close relative recently had the exact symptoms of a heart attack and stroke...When the ER saw him..One of the first things they did besides the norm was to check his teeth and ask him how many bad teeth he had....
Due to not having any dental insurance he had many bad teeth in need of extractions due to them having huge cavities to the root...
After they stabilized his symptoms they took him to get teeth x-rayed...he had 6 teeth with enormous cavities...to the nerve..
The doctors said this is becoming a common occurrence.. of people with heart attack/stroke symptoms who are really being poisoned in their system by bad teeth... His LDL levels were through the roof...
Anyone know about this???

Well each tooth is linked to an organ in the body. And plaque in the blood is directly related to plaque on the teeth because of nanobacteria cause both. Poisoned (as a absess or cavity yes)... but I dont think so... I think it has more to do with not taking care of your organs and body and then the teeth being rotten is a symptom of whats going on IN the body.

It isn't always teeth. Often it is severe gum infection. Gum infection is chronic and can become incurable. And it does have a direct link to health conditions of the heart as well as endocrine systems like Diabetes.

Decaying teeth alone can cause many serious health problems, even death. There is no connection between tooth decay and cholesterol except possibly for a bad diet of too many sweets.
