Tizz,

I have to have some dental work done in the future. I met with my ENT yesterday and discussed several subjects. Hyperbaric Oxygen was one of them. It may also help with healing a fistula that I had develope after my radiation. It has been slow to heal.

My second option is to opt for corrective surgery. If my insurance company approves the treatments, I may go the oxygen treatment route first. Maybe I'll be lucky and surgery will not be required.

I agree with Darrell......see a medical professional soon.

Good luck to you,

John
