Suggest Treatment For Bleeding Gums
So I was eating a bowl of cereal and I felt some thing dangling at the back right of my mouth and when I looked in the mirror it was a peice of my gum still attached just hanging there. It does not hurt at all it is bleeding a little. What should I do I'm a little scared!!!

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.
Read your query.
The gum tear is because of the trauma .
Please apply pressure on the area with a clean thumb to stop the bleeding. Visit a dentist and get the gum tag removed.
* Avoid trying to remove the tag by yourself as it might cause further damage.
* Get your teeth cleaned professionally.
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards.
