Lots: Lots of reasons for gum recession, including improper brushing, gum disease, trauma,etc. See your Dentist to determine the cause and to administer the appropriate treatment. Until you get to see your Dentist rinse w 1tsp salt in 8oz warm water 3x/day, brush area very gently w soft toothbrush 2x/day. But this isn't a DIY, see your Dentist.
