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.
