Are my gums receding?

Hello all! I know I'm due for a cleaning, and I know my teeth aren't the cleanest and best taken care of. I haven't had a dental clean in 6 years due to finances. But I'm getting health insurance soon.

Does it look like I am getting the beginning stages of periodontitis and/ or gum recession? Or am I being paranoid?

I brush 2x a day, morning and night, and floss. Nonsmoker, no sodas, 1 coffee a day.

One wisdom tooth erupted (with carries/ cavities) and 2 impacted up top. I'll have to get those removed at some point.

Any notes for what I should be doing differently would be appreciated. The last picture shows a spot I'm worried about.

F, 28, please tell me if my teeth are in terrible condition for my age. 🫠

Hello! I recently acquired this specimen from an estate sale. I have no further information about it aside from the red matrix is a bit dusty- likely rust. Using the estate sale photos because their camera is better than mine. Not UV reactive nor radioactive.
