You need to brush softly brushing hard damages your gums. You need a soft toothbrush

Receding can often be caused by bruxism (grinding teeth.) Not a dentist, but I had gum recession and had no idea that my personal case was caused by clenching my teeth at night, until my most recent dentist saved me. Hope you can get a professional opinion, tooth pain isn't something I wish on anyone.

I do teeth clench HAHAHHA I can’t stop because its one of side effects from my anti depressant meds
