Hello, I do not know anything about the HBO treatments. If you have not checked with your medical insurance company yet call them to see if your tooth issue will be covered under your medical insurance. I know in my husbands case everything we have related to dental due to cancer/radiation damage is covered through medical insurance. Although, it's not been 13 years. As for finding a dentist or oral surgeon check out Loma Linda University. You could also check out the University of California,Irvine. I have the number for the Head and Neck Dr. we got our 2nd opinion from(he was great)there. You could call his office and explain your situation. I'm sure they have a dental group there they use for all these type of side effects their patients have. We saw a Dr. Armstrong and his number is 714-456-7017. Good luck. Sincerely, Tamara Caregiver to husband with oral cancer
