Possibly related: There is increasing evidence that there is a high correlation between gum disease, as well as other chronic infections, to coronary artery disease and strokes. It is not the swallowing of blood but the presence of bacteria and associated by-products circulating in the blood.

The answer is no: While there is mounting evidence for an association with periodontal disease and inflammation of coronary vessels (atherosclerotic heart disease, the most common form of heart disease), there is actually no evidence that it causes this form of heart disease. Too many people confuse association with cause.
