I have a space opening up between my teeth, could it be gum disease?

Q.

I have developed a bit of receding gum but only in one place on my gumline? between my central and lateral incisors. there never used to be a gap there and after flossing and closer inspection I noticed that there was a gap between the two teeth. is this a common place to get gum recession? id never spotted it before and so assume that it is new. im not sure whether mouth washing the area wuold be a good idea as i feel that all i am doing is eroding the area? I work in an office and wash water around it as much as possible (not 24/7 just every few swigs) in the hope tha this will wash away any bacteria thats built up? could you advise on using mouthwash or not and what it could potentially be?
