What everyone else said. The general opinion in the articles I've read is that serious infections in your mouth -- and that's what untreated decay is -- can seriously affect the rest of the body and can potentially lead to a number of disorders which, on first blush, wouldn't seem to be related. I mean, it's an infection: it's producing both bacteria and bacterial toxins, AKA poisons. How could the rest of your body not be affected?
