Buster,
I am four years out of treatment and have a tooth that is causing pain. My RO told me to leave it alone unless it becomes unbearable. He said he never recommends extraction unless the tooth is black. He said have a tooth extraction would cause more harm and I would indeed have to have HBO before and after any extraction to prevent ORN.
