Most of us have probably been told we don't have an option for implants, and your oncology dentist may have also told you that you cannot have extractions done (fear of tissue not healing).

In a SPOHNC support group meeting today, I found out some patients are able to get teeth extracted by doing 20 treatments in a hyperbolic chamber, then the extraction, then 10 more hyperbolic treatments.

May be good news to some.
