Had what looked to me like a tiny blood clot on my gums i decided not to bother it when i woke up this morning it was gone. should i see a dentist?

Petichia: Probably a tiny blood vessel that ruptured. Most common cause is trauma. Just keep an eye on the area. If it recurs, call your Dentist. If it doesn't
