Thanks, both of you so much. I'm going to call the doctor now and ask him about this. He has taken a wait & see, lets hope this heals itself approach with occassional debridement and antibiotics. There is no pain, so maybe that has been a factor in the conservative treatment. Also no dental problems so far. HBOT is very expensive. Will cost us 15 grand before the insurance kicks in.
Our second opinion Doctor said nothing about HBOT, just that jaw surgery could be a future liklihood. I went back and read my old posts too. *Sigh*
