A member asked:

Can a styptic pencil be used on bleeding tongue?

Dr. J. Blake Perkins answered

Specializes in Dentistry

Yes: As long as the cut is not large, you can use it. It wont taste good at all, and may not work well due to the washing effect of your saliva. If the cut is large, skip the pencil and see a medical professional.
