The fastest way is to follow the instructions of the dentist who did it. Unfortunately, there are no magic wands to help you heal faster. The body does its own thing. But if you smoke, certainly give that up, as it delays healing. Also refrain from drinkig for 10 days as the alcohol mighr interfere with healing. Eat a balanced diet, get needed sleep and keep area clean
Healing takes time. Relax, eat healthy, drink plenty of fluids and let your body do all the work in due time.
There is nothing that you can do to make it heal faster. It needs to vascularize on its own. It will take two weeks.
All you can do is keep it clean. Rinse with hydrogen peroxide diluted 50/50 with water, or listerine. Whatever other instructions your doctor gave you
This is very dependent on the type of procedure you had done. There are various types of gingival grafts, with various outcome desires. I highly recommend that you reach out to your surgeon and ask them for their recommendations for you.
