Receding gums

[Vagabund]

I have seen my dentist and after few visits she suggested me to check my blood.
It looks that I have receding gums and  gum around one of my healthy tooth is bleeding abnormally.
My gums don't look swallen  or  red.
I have slight pain in my jaw,and face.  I clean my tooths regulary ,with soft brush and mouthwash 2 times daily.
My diet is Meditteranian  and I checked my blood last year and everything was fine. i don't have Hiv.
This receding looks every day worse to me. What is happening?

So what does stop you grinding your teeth at night? I suffer from this also and have lots of pain in cheekbone, jaw, ear and neck. It's driving me mad and was recently given a night guard so was hoping that might stop the pain. Any advice would be much appreciated/

It could be from an abnormal tooth contact. You may want to have a dentist who has knowledge in evaluating bites to check this out. In addition you have pain in jaw and face. You could be grinding. No a night guard will not stop this. In case if this was your next question.
