This condition is called as periodontitis. Which can occur due to collection of plaque and later it calcifies and becomes calculus.
In periodontitis there is gums reccession and bone infection.
Second chance is there might be trauma from occlusion with crowding of teeth Which leads to plaque deposition and gum recession
This condition is treatable
Next Steps

Health Tips
use chlorhexidine half an hour after brush twice a day for 15 days
use gum paint atleast 3 times a day and massage gums in a circular motion after scaling
