What Does Soreness And Bleeding From A Possible Cut In The Mouth Indicate?

Over the past few years, I have been experiencing sore mouth - just behind my front teeth in that bridge area. It is so sore that I cannot eat most foods. Even though it has not gotten any worse, I had an experience this week where while eating a potato chip it must have cut that area and I bled profusely for nearly three hours after which tiime, my hubby took me to the emergency room where the dr. put something on a compress and held it to my mouth until the bleeding stopped. However, the next day it started bleeding again. Another trip to the ER brought cauterization to the area and that has worked well for the past two days. I don t seem to be getting a reason from the medical profession as to what is causing this condition. Do you have any ideas?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If the area is continuously being injured and inflamed then it can bleed, it may be related to the bridge if the gums and mucosa in that area is inflamed.
As you cannot eat properly due to pain and soreness, therefore there is a high possibility of inflammation in that area and most probably originating from the bridge that might be over extended or there can be infection in that area..
So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Surgeon and get yourself checked.
They can do a clinical examination and advise you accordingly.
If it is due to the bridge, it might need replacement.
For now take soft and semi solid meals with more of liquids.
Also suck ice or do cool water rinses as it can help in reducing bleeding and inflammation..

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
