hi I have bleeding gums for 3 months now since I stopped smoking, I went to see the dentist a month a go to have a regular cleaning but still there is small amount of bleeding on my upper left gum around a molar. it bleeds spontaneously even thou I dont touch it. it seems like its the only part that is bleeding they took bitewing xray on that part and said there was no problem but still have small bleeding almost 3 times a week. Im seeing a periodontist next week. what imaging test would be best to see if I have gum cancer forming inside my gums? what do you think of my situation? by the way bleeding is not profuse or excessive, only at times when I floss that area but when it bleed spontaneously without touching its slight i just taste blood in my mouth after i spit i see my saliva is orange due to the blood mixed with it.
