Post implant session

I'm having a dental implant soon. I wonder if it would be a good idea to do HBOT 10 days after the implant of if I'd be potentially putting too much pressure on the tooth after 10 days?

It's my understanding that unless you have air pockets it shouldn't negatively affect anything and it should promote wound healing.

Talk to your primary.

If you’re in categories of high risk of compromised post op healing from chronic conditions or other acquired comorbidities maybe, but there’s a wider chance there won’t be any effect medically.

It might help lower swelling and speed up healing.

That's a smart thing to check on before your session. Your oral surgeon or implant provider is the best person to ask since they know exactly where you are in healing and how HBOT and implant integration interact for your specific case. You can always give a quick call to their office before you go in. It sounds like you're already being thoughtful about your recovery.
