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 .
