My gums are receding even though I maintain good oral health, why is this happening?

Q.

Hi Jose,

I had had good oral health all through my life, don’t drink sugary drink clean and mouthwash at least twice a day, not had any fillings or cracked teeth. I just had a brace when I was 16.I’ve noticed recently that the gum above my canine is receding a bit. Its not sensitive yet but i was just wondering if this is a big problem and can it be fixed? or what should i do? surely brushing my teeth more wont make the skin grow back? my gums dont look sore or rotten either? what do you think? Thanks!

I have smoked for two years and think I have gum disease, what should I do?

Q.

I think I may have gum disease as my gums bleed after brushing and the gum between my bottom fang and molar seems to have a split in it. I brush twice a day and regularly floss and use mouthwash however I have smoked for two years. I haven’t really suffered with dental problems apart from having a brace in my teens. What should I do? I’m quite apprehensive about going the dentist plus I don’t have the funds right now. Thanks!

Q.
