My gums are receding

And I haven't got a clue why Confused.

For context, I am only 29 and whilst I went through a short phase of brushing my teeth way too hard as a teenager when I had braces, I do not brush hard now nor have I done so for years.

Do I need to see a dentist now or can it wait? I was planning on waiting as I didn't think it was urgent but of course I have only gone and scared myself by Googling it and apparently if they are left untreated then they'll probably just receded further and my teeth will fall out...

Junk food and sugar will have no effect on the gums

And I am not trying to be offensive either but I am amazed that a dentist would say this. Where do you think T2 diabetes comes from?
