From the wear on your lower teeth you look to be a clencher or grinder. This likely is contributing to your recession. I would encourage you to get fitted for a nightguard by your dentist and see a periodontist (gum and bone specialist) for an evaluation and minor gingival (gum) graft. Good luck.
Without proper x-rays and without doing a clinical exam, it is very difficult to tell the source of your periodontal problem. The photograph attached, though slightly blurry shows gingival inflammation or gingivitis. Any treatment for your condition should begin witha deep periodontal scaling.
