As Augustus Mulliner says above, gum disease is a source of chronic inflammation and can have wide effects beyond just your mouth. If you really want to read more about it, pick up Ray & Terry's book, Transcend. :) Ray & Terry’s book goes into great detail about the cause of heart disease/heart attacks and boils it down to basically inflammation being the single biggest cause of heart attacks.

You may know people with heart conditions who take antibiotics prior to any dental work, even a simple cleaning to prevent infections. Our mouths are very vascular and even cleaning our teeth results usually in some bleeding of our gums. http://jada.ada.org/cgi/reprint/134/11/1543.pdf Hope that helps! http://www.perio.org/consumer/mbc.top2.htm

Generally, there's a growing body of evidence that points up a link between dental disease and systemic health problems. Floss @ $1.99 Bypass surgery@$40,000+ You do the math.
