Speculative as well:

Chronic pancreatitis can cause type II diabetes; diabetics are more
prone to periodontitis

Chronic pancreatitis is often caused by heavy alcohol and tobacco use.
We know these habits are associated with poor gum health

Chronic pancreatitis results in poor lipid metabolism and poor glycemic
control. Perhaps the latter may adversely affect gum health
