Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gum tissue that surrounds the teeth. It is caused by poor oral hygiene, which allows bacteria to take up residence under the gum tissue. Ill-fitting dentures that irritate the gums could create an opportunity for bacteria, but poor oral hygiene would be a factor, too. Dentures, in and of themselves, do not cause gingivitis.
