Bleeding: I'm not sure if you are referring to a tooth "socket" following the removal of a tooth when you use the term tooth "slot"? Generally speaking, biting on a dry gauze pad or a wet tea bag on the area should stop the bleeding. Having said that, call the dentist who extracted the tooth or see a dentist for your dental problem if you did not have an extraction.

Pressure: I am assuming you just had the tooth extracted. If so, put pressure on the site. Bite on gauze.

Gum disease: Bleeding gums can be a sign that you are at risk for, or already have, gum disease. These bacteria, along with mucus and other particles, constantly form a sticky, colorless toxic “plaque” on teeth causing the gums to become inflamed and to easily bleed. Bleeding may be a sign of a serious problem, which should be checked by a dentist.
