Not true: Who is advising you? Just get your teeth restored and you should be fine.

No!: However, tooth decay and poor dental health can cause systemic effects including increased blood vessel inflammation and repeated bacteria in the blood stream. It probably increases the risk of cardiovascular disease as well.
