Recently, I had a clot in my mouth when I bit down on a breakfast bar and hit the upper front tooth with one of my lower teeth. The impact of the hit was severe and felt numb at first. The following day the pain started and swelling soon followed. I had to go to the dentist the following day to find out what the deal was. The dentist treated the area of the tooth for an infection and cleaned the gum line around the tooth after numbing the area. Apparently, I cracked the tooth and in the process, broke a blood vessel, which caused the swelling and discomfort. Thank goodness there was no infection, but to be on the safe side, I will continue the antibiotics. Since this occurred the roof of my mouth had a blister like swelling that was lanced to releive the pressure and build up of blood. Everything is fine and it reminded me how important it is to see my dentist on a regular schedule.
The blood clots are usually caused from a blunt trama to the teeth or gums. Possibly a reaction to metal, plastic, or a foreign body imbedded in the gums or tissue, but to be on the safe side, always consult your dentist and follow their instructions. It could be more serious than what happened to me.

∙ 13y agoThe most likely cause of this is nosebleed. Blood drains from the nasopharynx into the mouth and then clots. Dry air is often the culprit. A good humidifier can work wonders.
Of course, there are other causes as well. If nosebleeds are not to blame for this, you should consult your physician for further work-up and treatment.

∙ 12y agoIt sounds as though you have bleeding gums. The gums bleed during the night when the mouth is the driest. The blood clots and you notice it in the morning. You should see your dentist as it could be a sign of gum disease.

Why does blood clumping cause death?
A clot can differ in size and where it is clogging the blood vessel. When a clot happens, blood flow slows down, if the clot is not caught or does not exert the body then death can come about. One should be careful if smoking, or eating fatty or greasy foods as these are usualy high in cholestoral. Blood pumps through your heart and into your lungs and your body. If there is a clot anywhere in your body or lungs and there is either a stopage of blood flow due to the heart being overlfowed with blood or the fact that there isn't any coming back into the hear. Blood has to flow through your body at all times and if there is a clot that is stopping it from flowing then that is where death is caused.
