The person who answered "ultimately" is only somewhat right.

The simple answer: no. Take better care of your teeth. Gingivitis is not going to kill you.Health Question & Answer

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.
