Reply to comment by UterineTemple in Oral hygiene, mouthwash usage and cardiovascular mortality during 18.8 years of follow-up - oral hygiene self-care OHS was associated with a 51% reduction in the risk of CVD mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 0.49 [0.28-0.85]; p = 0.01). by Meatrition

Still, 50% is significant. A lot of studies have already found connections between periodontal disease and CV and dementia risk.
