A device for treating nosebleeds includes a mouth insert comprising a horizontally extending elongated portion and a center portion extending downward from a bottom surface of the elongated portion. The center portion comprises a narrower width than the horizontally extending elongated portion and the elongated portion is shaped and dimensioned to be inserted into a buccal cavity of a user's mouth and to fit behind the user's upper lip and in front of the user's upper gums. The center portion is shaped and dimensioned to be positioned only in front of the user's upper front teeth. The center portion comprises a push-structure formed at a bottom end of the center portion and the push-structure comprises a push-surface used for placing a user's tongue or finger and pushing the device upward in order to provide pressure to the user's nose.
