Blood in my mouth: What could it be?

Need some advice—couldn't find a thread like this anywhere.

So, basically, I woke up the other day and tasted blood in my mouth. Spat it out, but wasn't coughing it up or anything.

Then it happened again the next afternoon.

Just a tiny amount of blood in my mouth—not from coughing, and it hasn't happened since.

I did a quick Google search, and most stuff points to coughing up blood (hemoptysis) and all these various illnesses linked to it... now I'm just sitting here wondering if that's what's happening or something else entirely. I don't think it's my teeth or gums or anything. 😕

Anyway, I need a reality check: do I just ignore this, or should I actually go see a doctor?

Honestly, it might just be some irritated gum tissue
but if this keeps happening, you really need to go see a dentist...

You could try rinsing your mouth out with some Tantum Verde, you can usually grab a bottle at any local CVS or Walgreens if you need it...
