Hi Michele,

I truly hope this goes well for you. I know you have had an awful time and the worrying is exhausting.

Who is guiding your treatment? I'm surprised that taking out extra teeth was suggested. Remember not all patients end up with ORN. I understand that at our RO center, no one treated with HBOT prior and following extraction, has gone on to develop ORN.

Hope to hear better news from you soon,
Lottie
