As a major disease that seriously endangers the health of Chinese residents, stroke has various triggering factors, among which infection is one of the initial factors. Previous studies have indicated a correlation of common oral infectious diseases such as periodontitis with the occurrence of stroke. However, there is a lack of effective integration of previous research on the induction of stroke by common oral infectious diseases. This article provides a comprehensive review of the relevant research on infectious diseases and stroke, with a particular focus on the progress related to periodontitis, gingivitis, dental caries, and pulpitis as triggers for stroke. It puts forward relevant recommendations for promoting oral health, so as to provide a theoretical basis for improving oral health literacy of Chinese residents and reducing the incidence of stroke and other major diseases.
