What Causes The Presence Of Blood In The Mouth Every Morning?

I am waking up every morning and I am spitting out blood.Not a lot. Been going for nearly 5 months. I went to an ENT who scoped my throat and said there was no cancer. I wen to to GI doctor who did an endoscopy just a couple of days ago and said that I am fine. Had dental work over the past couple of months and I do have gingivitis. I do not feel anything strange in my mouth nor do I have any other symptoms (i.e. no sores in my mouth, etc.) . It basically happens only in the morning and once I rinse my mouth out, I m fine. My next stop is obviously a periodontist. I have never smoked and do not drink alcohol. Do you know what it may be? I am still very concerned.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The bleeding in the oral cavity could be because of the gum infection(gingivitis), or any cuts in the oral cavity or pulp polyp or any bleeding disorders like idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Consult a oral physician and get these things ruled out. Get a complete blood investigation along with INR to rule out the bleeding disorders.
If any gum infection then get your teeth cleaned and use topical gum astringents like stolin gum paint.
if pulp polyp is there then get it root canal treated.
If bleeding disorder is there then consult a general physician.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
