Suggest Treatment For Bleeding Gums

My son has hit the area between his top two front teeth about three times starting the day before yesterday. I guess today was the worst because that area has started to bleed and It won't stop. It did stop once which was by coagulated cells I'm assuming but was very long and he pulled it which started the bleeding again. Will he get sick from the blood he has swallowed? Do I need to take him in to the pediatrician or a dentist?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The bleeding can be secondary to a cut wound or a fractured bone or teeth. Immediately consult a oral and maxilliofacial surgeon and get it evaluated. If there are any cuts causing bleeding, get it sutured. If there are fractured bone or teeth, then get it fixed with plates and screws. Before this get radiographs done like OPG. Meanwhile you can keep ice cubes over the bleeding site or you can place a cotton or gauze dipped in saline and squeeze it and place it over the bleeding site and apply pressure and hold it for 20minutes.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
