Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 756 Likes: 1 | I've had hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) twice in 2008 and 2013. I'm having more dental issues and may need an invasive procedure that normally would require HBOT. It's been 3.5 years since my last HBOT treatment.
When I first had HBOT in 2008, I was told it was good for "life". Then when I needed some teeth pulled in 2013, I was told it was only good for 5 years so I repeated HBOT again.
Does anyone know what the current guidelines are with regard to the time lapsed before repeating HBOT?
