How many months will it take for a gum inflammation to get better, gums don't bleed, had a deep cleaning at the gumline by dentist?

It depends: You are young and you should heal pretty fast from gum inflammation, but if you had deep pockets with bone loss it is a different story. Gingivitis if treated right should heal in matter of days, at the most a week or 2.

See periodontist: More serious type of gum disease known as periodontitis. It's very important to pay attention to your gums. Gums play a major role not only in your dental health, but in your general health. Regardless, the cause of gum inflammation, there are steps you can take to minimize gum damage:see periodontist, brush and floss properly 2X/day, drink water, eat well-balanced diet and relax.
