Dentist,  's  Response
Thanks for using Health Care magic.

Read your query.

I would advice you to apply firm pressure on the tooth using a gauge piece ..

Avoid vigorous gargling.

Use a anesthetic ointment if you have any.

If bleeding is still persistent visit your dentist so that he can apply some treatment to stop the bleeding.

Thanks and regards .
