Gum recession query
As per the attached pictures, do you think I have gum recession? Also, my gums are swollen and feel delicate. (I had a dental cleaning five days ago. My teeth still feel loose, and the backside of my lower incisors seems to now have no enamel and my teeth feel moving, can't see them move, but sure can feel the movement.)

You do have gum recession . It seems to be connected to mal-alignment of your teeth. The upper central incisors seem to bd palatally inclined and the lower central incisors are buccally inclined. . This inclination may be crowding aggravated by impacted third molars Inclination of teeth affects the position of the gums on teeth.. Regarding loosening of teeth after cleaning, it is common to feel like this when the tartar , deposited on teeth surfaces in the shape of a bridge , is removed. The teeth feel single (separate) and unsupported and a bit loose. The gum inflammation should get relieved within this week too.Maintain your oral hygiene and seek an appointment with a periodontist if you still feel the same after two weeks. iAlso, to let you know, there is soft tissue (Periodontal ligament) between tooth and supporting bone. . This tissue, even when mildly inflamed near the gum , can lead to a feeling of loose teeth. This feeling usually disappears within a week. Regarding your fear of loss of enamel, it’s the tartar , plaque and stains that are removed during scaling - manual or ultrasonic.
Next Steps
Get a thorough check up done. OPG, Any need for orthodontic treatment. ,upper labial frenectomy( if needed) An abnormal frenum can aggravate recession of gums.
Health Tips
Maintain oral hygiene instructions. Use soft brush and do your brushing using the correct technique.

Swollen gums and a delicate feeling could be signs of gum inflammation or gingivitis. It's not uncommon to experience some degree of gum sensitivity or swelling after a dental cleaning, especially if there was a significant buildup of tartar or plaque. Loose teeth and a sensation of movement can be concerning. It's possible that the cleaning process or the underlying condition of your teeth and gums have contributed to this feeling. It's important to address these symptoms promptly to prevent any further complications. I recommend taking the following steps: Contact your dentist: Reach out to your dentist and explain the symptoms you are experiencing. They will be able to assess your situation and provide appropriate guidance. They may suggest a follow-up appointment to examine your teeth and gums more closely. Maintain good oral hygiene: Continue to brush your teeth gently but thoroughly with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Be careful around the sensitive areas and avoid putting excessive pressure on the affected teeth. Also, continue to floss daily to remove any debris or plaque from between your teeth. Rinse with saltwater: Rinse your mouth with warm saltwater (one teaspoon of salt dissolved in a glass of warm water) several times a day. This can help reduce inflammation and soothe the gums. Avoid excessive force or stress on your teeth: Be mindful of any habits that might be putting extra pressure on your teeth, such as clenching or grinding. Try to minimize these habits to avoid further aggravating your symptoms.

For swollen gums i will recommend you do warm saline rinses ...and after scaling if u feel that teeth are moving it means your teeth were supported by calculus ...and As per protocoal we have to remove calculus otherwise it will further proceed bone loss and recession...now only treatment left behind is either go for perio surgery or you can go for bridge on 6-8 teeth which will give them support ...if u still have doubts u can call me
