Yes, gum diseases can lead to heart disease. The other answers are correct that gum diseases can be associated with an infection in the heart called endocarditis, but this usually occurs in individuals who already have abnormal heart valves. Recent evidence has shown that gum diseases (periodontal disease) is associated with an increase risk of heart attacks. The reason is because it increases inflammation in the body and this is known to be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events like heart attacks. Gum diseases should not lead to fatigue or weakness unless there is an active infection like an abscess. Many conditions can cause fatigue. The most common cause is lack of sleep. Other common causes include underactive thyroid and anemia. See your doctor about the fatigue if it continues. Get a dental check up also if needed.
