tldr: gum recession is not caused by brushing too hard or aging, but by underlying health issues. The primary drivers are gum disease (bacterial infection) and bite/airway problems that cause tooth flexing. Instead of temporary grafts, one must identify the root cause through professional dental exams. Improving nutrition and oral hygiene helps maintain gum health and prevents systemic issues like heart disease.

It's a relief that some professionals understand that brushing "hard" is not the primary root cause. Gums need massaging. I use a medium flossing brush and my gums are healthy. Xylitol is magic stuff

I think you missed a major cause: hormone deficiency (estrogen) replacing hormones will help gum tissue growth

Mouth breathing was a big contributor for me. Dry gums, brittle, bleeding. Mouth taping and being careful not to overheat at night which causes dehydration has reduced the bleeding dramatically. Now I just need to treat the remaining gum disease. Rinse your nose at night with a sinus rinse, plain salt and warm water, so you can maximize breathing through your nose and minimise mouth breathing.

I immediately water pik after eating when I’m home. Then brush. I think it has improved my gum health.

The dentist creates the bite as they fill teeth. Not enough time is spent getting the fit right for eating, so teeth move every time you chew food, causing the recession. Dentists are rushing customers through.

Another dentist told me it was strictly hereditary and that my parents - both deceased at the time - must have had this issue
