Itching gums is not a common symptom. It may be caused by gingivitis or periodontal disease but these conditions are not normally associated with pain and / or discomfit. Other causes include sensitivity to something that has been in or near your mouth, infections like sore throat or colds and over crowding of your teeth. I would urge you to see a doctor to find out the cause. Yes a scratched gum is capable of healing fairly quickly providing your gums are healthy.

Well, your nail caused it as you said, itchy gums???? well more hygiene might help. In the mean time I suggest warm water and salt to insure no infection and be gentle for a couple of days. Yes it will heal.

Usually caused by 'gingivitis' (inflammation of the gums)
Yes it heals instantaneously ~ Gargle salty water for a day or two!
