Last updated at 15:50 27 June 2006. A giant beetle unseen in the UK for 300 years and rare anywhere in the world has been discovered living in Llanelli. Startled workers at a furniture restorer almost smashed the bug to bits with a hammer in their fear before cooler heads prevailed.
Gum Stimulation. One way to bring blood flow to the gum area is by stimulation. You can achieve this by massaging your gums. Using your clean fingers, grasp the gum with your thumb and forefinger, and squeeze and release. Many toothbrushes have a device attached at the end that's specifically made for this purpose.
No, its not normal to have blood on your gums or to spit blood after brushing your teeth. But if that is the case, then you probably have gum disease (periodontal disease) and it must be treated. Gum disease is usually caused by an accumulation of plaque and tartar and it mainly has two stages: gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gums that reaches mainly the surface. It can be displayed by pain, bleeding and redness of the gums.
