Constant anxiety over gums...anyone had gum grafts?

Hi all

I am in my 20s but already suffering with receding gums. My gums are healthy (i.e. no gum disease) but very weak. I also probably used to brush too hard and grind my teeth, both of which are now remedied, but it continues to progress.

Its causing my constant anxiety, to the point that brushing my teeth or sometimes eating makes me feel sick with nerves that im going to make them worse.

I have seen a periodontist who is recommending gum grafting, however all the experiences im reading online are horrific and im terrified (it also costs 4k but thats a different issue..)

Is anyone else experiencing this? Its really worrying me.

Also, has anyone here had positive experiences with gum grafts?
