A picture will help assessing your problem better ,though it can be a condition called periodontitis where your gums are not healthy and causing the gums to recede down. It happens mostly because of bad oral hygiene ,deposition of plague,calculus etc between your teeth and gums which require treatment
For detail information regarding your problem and also for exact treatment plan kindly text me in personal chat box

Sir please attach pictures. If there is recession, first step is to figure out a cause. Changes in eating is not required. A thorough examination or an online consultation is preferred
Next Steps
try online consultation or visit a dentist personally
