Is there a link between periodontal disease and fatty liver? 39 years old and 134#. do not drink. what should i do about fatty liver? already seeing a dentist for treatment.

No link: No, there is no link. As for the fatty liver, losing weight is the best thing you can do for your fatty liver, and as you are, avoiding alcohol and excessive Tylenol.

Yes: Please read https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4998044/ This has been an area of considerable research. Strongly suggest that you see a gum/bone specialist, a Periodontist.
