periodontal disease and cholesterol I had high cholesterol. I did everything I was suppossed to and still had a high reading. I started takeing omega 3, took it for a year. In the mean time I had my teeth cleaned. I had periodontal disease. It is all cleared up mouth is healthy now. I had my yearly checkup, all the numbers came back perfect. I was delighted and gave the credit to the omega 3. Now I am wondering if makeing my gums and mouth healthy was what caused the great numbers? Is this a posability? tsaraht5@aol.com
