If there is plaque and calculus deposits , you cannot find receding gums on inspection. Swelling is definitely due to deposits. Please go for professional cleaning and then change your Brushing technique and use of soft tooth brush is also mandatory.After cleaning give gingival massage so that it improves your gum tone.
Next Steps
Please visit the dentist.
Hope this helps you.

One of the most common causes of gum recession and swelling is plaque and tartar. Poor oral hygiene leads to gum diseases and dental cavities. Tartar (calculus) needs to be professionally removed by the dentist. Teeth sensitivity can be present in advanced stages. Professional dental cleaning and proper oral hygiene can solve the issue in most of the cases, but definite treatment will depend on your medical, dental history and clinical examination.
Next Steps
Visit the dentist for definite clinical evaluation and treatment.
