Is it safe to get a Monroe piercing if you have gingivitis?

Answer 1

Most experienced body piercers will walk away from doing any oral piercing on someone who has bad oral hygiene practices, here's why. Bad oral hygiene will pose a threat to oral health and therefore pose a greater risk for infection and other secondary complications for oral piercings. Besides being rude to deal with due to odour and appearance there can be bleeding and other issues that make performing an oral piercing difficult. I would recommend that you deal with the gingivitis issue with a good oral rinse in concert with regular brushing and flossing. Once you have the issue under control then you can consider the piercing, oral hygiene needs to be maintained for quick effective healing or the Monroe piercing.
