    Mr. Ricky,
    You've clearly done a bunch of reading on HBO. I didn't know about the twice daily treatment. That would have saved me time when I went through it. Do you have a reference you could share?
    I'm likely to have to undergo HBO again next year, so I'm going to start getting prepared.

    Also, if I get a tooth extracted without HBO and just get "close follow-up," how do they decide when healing is faulty enough to warrant HBO intervention, post extraction? And am I taking additional risk by doing it this way as opposed to just going ahead in advance of extraction and getting the treatment?

    I have heard the implant thing from the dental hygienist at the dental school in St Louis. It's probably not for me as I've reabsorbed quite a bit of mandible since my original treatment 13 years ago.

    Hope things are going well for you.
