My story is similar to both of yours. Went to dentist prior to rad. After rad teeth werent good. Mine are all loose and uncomfortable. Anyway, Ive been doing HBO. I had alot of jaw pain daily which is now completely gone. Ive done 43 dives with 7 more to go. Most docs/dentists will tell you that you need 20 dives before dental work and 10 after. HBO is a breeze compared to any of the other treatents Ive had. It has worked wonders for me and I cant say enough good things about it. Thats coming for a skeptic of any unorthodox treatment. HBO is very expensive and most insurances will have to preapprove it.
There is a lengthy post about HBO on the forum, check that out too. Hope that helps you both.
