I got deep cleaning but not bleeding as much and my gums are still inflame. how long does it take for inflame gums to heal after deep cleaning?

10 to 14 days: After Initial Periodontal Therapy or IPT, you must brush rinse and floss as instructed. Your gums may bleed for a few days as they heal, but excellent oral hygiene is the key to success! You should have a follow up scheduled with the treating dentist in 3 to 4 weeks. Good for you for investing in yourself!
