See a dentist ASAP!: What you are describing could be anything from gingivitis to oral cancer. Any bleeding in the mouth that lasts longer than a few days is not normal. Please see a dentist as soon as possible.

Not normal: If you had a hard lump and or bleeding anywhere else in your body wouldn't you have it evaluated? Call your dentist now please. This lis not something that can be evaluated on the computer...You have to be seen, and 10 years is way to long to have let this go.

Bleeding????: Unless you are talking about a menstrual cycle bleeding is not normal. So if you are experiencing irregular bleeding, uncontrolled bleeding, ... It is a sign that something more serious is going on.See your dr asap!, please do not delay.

Probably not: Not enough information for a diagnosis, but there are a lot of possibilities besides cancer. You need to have a dentist take a look. Sounds like it's been a long time.
