How do I stop bleeding in the mouth?
To stop bleeding in the mouth, gently rinse your mouth with saline to reduce swelling. Apply a clean, damp gauze pad to the bleeding site and press firmly. Brushing with a soft-bristled toothbrush can minimize gum irritation and prevent bleeding. If bleeding does not stop or recurs frequently, contact Urgent Dental immediately.
