If a dog is bleeding profusely in the mouth, then Quieten the animal with a sedative like Diazepan, Apply cold compresses on the tongue, If the bleeding site can be located, press it with cotton dipped in ice-cold water,If the bleeding is severe, take the animal to a vet. He will give Haemostyptic Injections (Revici, Siochrome) to control the bleeding and if the blood loss is excessive, he will give I.V. fluids.
