ultimately - yes.
Complications of untreated gingivitis include receding gums, chronic periodontitis (progressive loss of the bone around teeth), infection or abscess, and loss of teeth.
According to a recent study at the University of Minnesota, 2 kinds of bacteria breeding indental plaque around inflamed gums can bring about "blood clumping." This is technically speaking the first step towards forming a clot that can trigger a heart attack.
