Brief Answer:
There is nothing to worry about!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I have reviewed your information fully. As of mow, there is nothing to worry about. I will suggest that you stay calm and only seek any further medical attention if you notice similar episodes in future. It is not uncommon for minor blood to bleed from the gums during brushing.

In all, there is nothing to worry about at this time.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Hi and thanks for this specification.

Honestly, there is nothing to be worried about. There are no symptoms that really make the possibility of a stomach bleeding like severe pain here. I will recommend that you monitor and only act is something new comes up of this happens again.
