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.

28 yr old female, experiencing swollen gum behind lower back molar- left side. Hurts mostly when touched. Never had bottom wisdom teeth, only the 2 top ones came in my early 20s. Could this be a wisdom tooth erupting? Swelling is in that area.
