How long has it been there? Is there a bump or is it flat? We need more information than it is a spot on the roof of your mouth that bleeds. It could be a canker sore and they take about 10 days to heal. Warm salt water..2tsp salt/ juice glass of warm water. If it doesn't go away in 2 weeks time....see your dentist.
While it could be just an irritated spot or a cut maybe caused by a sharp food like a chip, I'd get it checked out. Sores in the mouth that don't heal could be an indicator of oral cancer.
If you have recently cut your mouth with something sharp, you could have an abscess but you should really get this checked. Usually abscesses will have white pus in them and will be fluctuant, meaning its kinda like a waterbed when you press on it....Is it warm when you touch it (compared to the rest of your mouth?
I would give it a couple more days to show improvement and, if none, then go see your dentist. Sore places like this that do not heal can be a sign of oral cancer...and the sooner its found the better your prognosis. Even if you do not smoke or chew, it is still possible to get oral cancer. Smoking and chewing only puts you at a higher risk. Hope this helps.
