Gum recession in one tooth, no other symptoms

I (21m) have just noticed some gum recession in just one tooth but I'm not sure if this is anything recent or if it has always been like this. As my last check-up was July 2021, it must have either developed some time this past year or perhaps my dentist just wasn't concerned enough to point it out.

Strangely, I have no other symptoms. There's no swelling, sensitivity, bleeding when I brush/floss etc. I have an appointment with my dentist on the 20th of August, but I'm wondering if this is something more urgent and if I should be more worried about this? Anyone have any idea about what it could be?
