receding gums-loss of calcium?
When did you last have your labs checked? A dexa scan? How much calcium are you taking daily?

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

That kinda sucks. But have your PCP pull your labs and learn to read them yourself and adjust accordingly.
Hell, go to a walk-in urgent care clinic and have them pull labs for you (err.. just did this myself.. ) and have them mail you the results.
ETA: To answer your original question, I'd say the answer would be no -- I'd say that receeding gums would be more along the lines of peridontal disease, but I'm not a dental expert. That would be an ideal question for a peridontist, though.

When was your last dental cleaning?? some people can developed periodontal disease.That will cause bone loss and gums to shrink and expose your roots to your teeth..
There is medication that can cause this, and poor dental health as well.. Plus health problems
The best thing to do is get in to a dentist and get referred to a periodontist.
I hope things get better..
