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 is symptomatic of a periodontal gum condition called gingivitis. Flossing the in between area of the teeth removes bacterial plaque which causes the tissue irritation and the bleeding. Keep flossing and the bleeding should stop over a period of a week or so. If it does not there may be a hard deposit called calculus or commonly called tartar present that simple flossing cannot remove.
