Brushing technique: In my experioence brushing too hard or using anything but a soft tooth brush is the number one reason for self inflicted recession. Excellent home care is essential to help prevent gum disease which can also cause recession. See your dentist regulary.

Dental Exam: A physical examination of your mouth is needed to answer your question. Please see a local dentist who can take radiographs, go over your brushing technique, see if you're grinding your teeth, and determine if you have periodontitis.
