get the tweezers and pull it out, the ones that you pluck with.
i have the same problem
Do your parents have a little vodka or whiskey in the house? Rinse your mouth out with that, and it will kill any germs that could cause it to get infected. If not that, you can use some mouthwash.
not sure what to do exactly i would try maybe using a tooth pick or tweezers and trying to pull it out then hold a cloth or something on it to stop the bleeding but im no expert thats just what i would do hope that helps
dont go to sleep with it like that , when you wake up there will be a big bump there, probably infected.
i recommend brushing your teeth in that area, keep flossing more, keep brushing well there...
Firstly perhaps you should try to stop biting your nails!
Regardless of what it is trapped in your gum, i don't think it is that which made your gum bleed, it is your attempts to get it out that is doing that.
If it is in a place where you can brush your gum then you could try using your toothbrush to do upward strokes on your gum to ease it upwards to help it come out where your tooth meets your gum (or downward strokes if it is on your upper jaw).
If this doesn't work after a few strokes or if it is not in a place you could try this it would be best to leave it for now because you'll be making it worse by angering the gum which will make it harder to get it out.
I don't think it will get infected in just a few hours but if you have any mouthwash then you could rinse your mouth out with that to help.
Personally I would leave it for a little bit, or overnight if you're about to go to bed and then have another go in the morning / a few hours time when your gums have stopped bleeding.
If that doesn't work the dentist will be able to get it out for you really easilly. Good luck!
