Not alone: Others share your problem. http://www.medhelp.org/posts/dental-health/gum-recession--help/show/306500 do follow the thread - it has some good thoughts on do's ; don'ts. Sounds like the guard may be a good idea - so is a visit to a periodontist. Smoking, alcohol, stiff bristles are not good - massage, good diet, general health are. Good luck!

Receding gums: There are many reasons for receding gums...One common reason is if you had braces done. If you are really concerned see a periodontist for an evaluation. You can locate a good one by going to aap.Org and doing a search.
