Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
I am having the above medical procedure so I can have a tooth removed and an inplant inserted. The oral surgeon said with the tooth being in the lower jaw the therapy is required. I am concerned about any adverse side effects.

Hello! I don’t know anyone who has used this for a dental procedure. Have you asked your Pulmonogist about this? Below is a link from the FDA:https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/hyperbaric-oxygen-therapy-get-facts
I have only heard of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for wound healing. Be sure to chat with your pulmonologist before getting the procedure done to make sure he/she doesn't have any concerns.
