Gums shrinking are very common in periodontitis (infection of gums and underlying bone). It is mainly due to deposition of tartar and plaque (a kind of bacterial colony in common language) on the surface of teeth and gums. Although it is not possible without examination to tell you the reason behind your gum shrinkage. If it is due to periodontitis then deep scaling and root planning (a type of professional teeth cleaning) and sometimes bone and gum grafting can cure your problem. Immediately consult a periodontist (a gum disease specialist) nearby you. If not find any periodontist then consult with a general dentist. Maintain good oral hygiene, brush your teeth twice daily at 12 hour interval, regularly use a good quality of mouthwash and dental floss can give you benefit.

Hello Mr. lybrate-user, From your question I can understand that your gum line are receding and you need a solution for the same. As far as the age is concerned, gingival recession is not common. Bad maintenance of your oral hygiene can lead to gum disease. Do visit your dentist once in six month for full mouth scaling. Also, the attachment of your gum with the teeth has to be checked clinically. In another scenario, if there are no calculus present and still your gums recede, I urge you to visit the dentist ASAP to diagnose the condition and proceed with the treatment plan suggested by the dentist.
