Embodiments of a pressure insert are disclosed for assisting in slowing and stopping nose bleeds. The insert is preferably a firm or non-compressible insert with contours that match or come close to matching the contours of a human's upper gum line and inside surface of the upper lid, which define the buccal cavity. The insert is curved rearward and has generally rounded and smooth edges, and preferably has notches, trough, or contours for conforming over and around the user's frenulum. Preferably, the front surface and the rear surface are generally parallel and both curve around to match, in general, the curvature of the row of front, upper teeth. Alternatively, the insert may be planar prior to use, but may flex to conform to the upper anterior gums after insertion into the buccal cavity.
