I had a gum inflammation at my lower frontal teeth, its almost healed, but my gums are loose, will my gum heal itself? And how long it takes if it does? I’m 22, using mouthwash prescribed by dentist, with good oral hygiene, i thought my gums will be back to normal after the inflammation, I HAVE GONE TO DENTIST, AND I WILL GONE TO DENTIST FEW DAYS LATER … but i must know the answers now.. plz help!

Yes, it will heal pretty much.
Gradually the swelling will go down and since you went to the dentist you must have gotten or must be getting the cleaning done as well.
So, the cleaned surface along with the healed gums will eliminate the loose tissue and allow for reattachment.
Give it 2 / 3 weeks.
You have to floss though on top of brushing and flossing.
