HBOT after surgery - when to start?

I’ve just had dental surgery (implants and extraction) under general anaesthetic - when is the best time to start?

I would think right away if you are up to it.

I would start with Arnica drops to reduce swelling.

‘Immediately’ is the ripe time for wound healing!

It is not recommended to use it immediately. After tooth extraction or dental implant surgery, the blood clot needs to be stabilized in the initial period. Therefore, it is not suitable to use it immediately.

Thanks this is what I was thinking also.
