I could be wrong, but I don't think radiation can cause immediate recession unless it is radiated directly in that area, then maybe but I never heard of it. While stressed it is not uncommon to clench. For me, I do not normally clench, but did so during chemo and also prior to chemo when I was undergoing my other medical treatments. Clenching can cause teeth to be very sensitive and long term clenching can cause some recession as well as pain and mobility of the teeth that are stressed.
