Sorry, your question is not very clear.





Why oxygen would be needed as a painkiller in dental work beats me.





My mother had thyroid cancer, and never experienced that.
Reply:Vicki, I believe what you are referring to is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, a treatment in which pure oxygen is used to improve circulation and heal wounds faster. You should contact the Doctor that prescribed this treatment, explain your situation and see if something can be worked out so that you can get the treatment you need. Your health should be your #1 priority.
Reply:I'm very concerned that you are here looking for answers instead of talking to your doctor or hospital! Your condition is serious and now complicated.





Unfortunately, usually all the teeth that are anywheres near the path of the radiation need to be removed first, along with any other teeth that are "bad". This is because radiation causes permanent changes to the bone's blood supply and proper healing, of the extraction site, is severely compromised. The prescribed hyperbolic oxygen treatments may have been able to help.


You may now experience a serious and painful bone necrosis.





Your oncologist should have been coordinating care with a dental surgeon prior to your radiation! You need to get to the hospital now! If money or transportation are issues, then you need to communicate that. Hospitals have social services people that can help get you services.
