The name receding gums by itself says that it occurs when the gum
tissue around the teeth withdraws and the gums seem to recede backwards
opening a larger area of the tooth surface more visible. When the gums
recede that gives rise to gaps between the teeth and gum line. This
makes it easy for bacteria to build up and survive there. If you do not
contain receding gums, even the root of teeth may become exposed and
thereafter cause pain making your teeth extremely sensitive.
Furthermore, due to the damage caused to the supporting tissue and bone
structures of your teeth, you may eventually lose teeth.

Since the gum recession is very general dental problem, lots of the
people suffering from it doesn’t seem to notice it timely because the
