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.
Your bleeding gums when you brush your teeth may be a sign of gum disease or a sign of something more global like a bleeding disorder. In most people, bleeding gums happen when we brush too hard. This does not seem to be the case since you have had similar problems with different tooth brushes. You may have gum disease such as gingivitis (also known as inflammation of the gums). Another possibility is that you have a problem with your blood clotting.
