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.
Bleeding gums could be a sign of a number of dental problems, but it's usually a symptom of gum disease. In some cases, the causes of bleeding gums may be the result of injuries or infections of the teeth. Gum disease usually isn't painful, so many people don't know they have it until it advances. Being aware of the symptoms can help you catch gum disease early -- and possibly reverse it through gum disease treatment.
