Community Dent Oral Epidemiol 33:167-73. 2005..CONCLUSIONS: Women with fewer teeth have unhealthier diets such as decreased intake of fruits and vegetables, which could increase CVD risk.

Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Boston, MA 02115, USA
J Public Health Dent 63:52-60. 2003..The lack of association between nail mercury levels and number of amalgam restorations suggests that avoidance of mercury amalgam restorative materials cannot be justified by the presence of mercury released from dental amalgams... - Oral health and peripheral arterial diseaseHsin-Chia Hung
