I have been edentulous for 14 years. The initial extraction was done after HBO and fortunately no necrosis.
Now I’m having pain in my gums constantly. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

Wonderful to hear from you. Congrats on 18+ years and getting through a second round of cancer treatments. Your story is inspiring! Stay safe and keep the faith.

Whatever it takes to improve healing speed. I had extractions without HBO or really put any thought into the side effects of post radiation extractions. That was early last December. Now I am dealing with osteoradionecrosis and it is painful. I see my specialist tomorrow. 10.5 years out and I let my guard down and now I pay the price. Do everything it takes to ensure your recovery goes well if you need additional extractions.
