A chunk of my gum is missing? (Photo)

yasminzaraa
I check my teeth fairly often as I'm very concious about them. Tonight when i was checking them i noticed a chunk missing in part of the gum around my tooth. I am mortified, i actually thought i was going to faint. I'm only 18! My mum recently brought some new toothbrushes, which over the part few days I've stopped using because I've found the bristles too hard, now I've noticed this! will the gum grow back or will i need a graft? I'm so worried :'( (it's on the second premolar)
