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.
1 Irregular brushing or flossing, or performing these actions incorrectly, can lead to gum disease such as gingivitis and periodontitis, which are common causes of bleeding gums. 2  Brushing too hard. 3  Being too vigorous with your brushing can inflame delicate gum tissue and cause it to bleed. 4  Hormonal changes. This helps to slow the blood flow to the area, resulting in less blood loss. 2  Make a cold compress by wrapping an ice cube in a clean piece of paper towel. 3  Hold it against the bleeding gum, applying gentle pressure.
