They look sore. Are they natural teeth (any composite or porcelain veneers)?
Do you floss?
Do you see a dentist 2x a year?

That's not ANUG. Red gums is not the definitive sign of ANUG.
My dentist says it’s not gingivitis either. It must be something though. I am very obsessive about how much they have receded. Here’s a photo of one year ago and today. I might be imagining it, but my gum line looks completely different, particularly around the front teeth.

If he's not sure, and you're not sure, then go to a periodontist. There's not much I can suggest from here.
