Bleeding: Bleeding is sign that there is something dramatically wrong. See the Physician that did the cauterization to reexamine the are. Also immediately schedule appointment with Dentist to see if you have gum disease severe enough to cause your gums to bleed. If so, appropriate treatment will be recommended.
