First off dental recession is caused by different reasons. Periodontal Disease, Malocclusion, Bruxism of teeth, trauma, or sometimes orthodontics. Its best to know which one or factors are causing the recession and address the problem.
Routine Dental exams and cleanings, Fluoride use to prevent cavities, and custom night guards all help guard against recession

Use a softbristled toothbrush and gentle brushing technique to avoid further gum damage. Floss daily, use fluoride toothpaste, avoid tobacco, and visit your dentist regularly for cleanings and gum health monitoring.
