Receding of gums at such a young age is not a good sign. Need to examine the cause of gum recession. Change the way you brush, the type of brush you use, do not use hard tooth brush or harsh tooth brushing stroke. This will stop gums receding furthur. If the recession is too much you can opt for gingival flap surgery if needed.

receding gums are sign of gum infection due to accumulation of plaque on teeth. go for scaling and polishing of teeth. use mouthwash twice daily after brushing. maintain proper oral hygiene.
