Buster, I am one who firmly believes in HBO and how effective it is in helping to avoid ORN. Ive done many dives so I speak first hand about how well it worked for me.

Here is a similar recent thread on roughly the same subject. Check out my reply dated 2/10/14 and review the links on HBO and ORN. Then you can make a better informed decision. Many dentists are unfamiliar with the special care an OC patient requires. You may want to seek out another professional to do your extractions.

Best wishes!
