Is heavy bleeding a real concern for surgical removal of a blood vessel on a persons gum. i am having this procedure and so worried.

Not sure : If you are having the surgery because of the bleeding or are worried about the bleeding but if you have a prominent vessel that bleeds in a gum or lip it is common to remove and is a fairly easy procedure. The mouth is amazing and heals so fast you won't believe it. You will be glad when it is over and relieved!! No need to worry!!
