Hello all. I'm brand new to this forum and hope there's some help out there. A lesion on my hard palate has been bleeding slowly for the last 24 hours. There is no associated pain, but the bloody saliva deposits sometimes have skin fibers mixed in. I am a smoker and have not had any dental exams/work for over 30 years. My oral health is in very poor shape. I do have Medicare (Part A only), along with full Veteran's Administration health care coverage except oral and dental. Any possible home remedies or other suggestions would be most welcome. Thank you.
