What is gingivities?
Gingivitis is inflamed gums. The most common cause of gingivitis is inadequate oral hygiene. Improving one's oral hygiene through frequent effective brushing and flossing usually reduces or eliminates gingivitis. It is important to differentiate gingivitis from periodontitis. While gingivitis only involves the gums, periodontitis involves the periodontal attachment, that is the tissues that hold the tooth to the jaw bone. Loss of this attachment is most often irreversible, and this condition must be treated with the help of a dentist and dental hygienist. See your dentist for a correct diagnosis and treatment.
Can complete dentures cause gingivitis?
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.

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