Oxygen Therapy

 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that involves the use of 100% pure oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure. HBOT has been used to improve the natural healing process of the body for more than 300 years. It is a non-invasive treatment that involves the patient breathing in oxygen while being enclosed in a pressurized chamber.


The basic concept behind HBOT is that by increasing the pressure and amount of oxygen delivered to the body, it can help to enhance the body's natural healing process. The higher pressure allows oxygen to dissolve in the patient's blood plasma and fluids, which helps to promote healing and fight infections.

There are several different medical conditions that can be treated with HBOT. Some of the most common include non-healing wounds, carbon monoxide poisoning, decompression sickness, and radiation tissue damage. HBOT can also be used to treat several other conditions, such as burns, traumatic brain injuries, and chronic migraines.

One of the most significant benefits of HBOT is that it can help to reduce inflammation in the body. Inflammation can cause several medical conditions, and by reducing it, HBOT can help to alleviate the symptoms of several diseases. In addition, HBOT can help to stimulate the growth of new blood vessels, which can help to improve blood flow to damaged tissues.

Another benefit of HBOT is that it can help to improve the body's natural immune system. By increasing the oxygen supply to the body, it can help to promote the body's natural healing process and fight off infections. This can be particularly helpful for patients who have weakened immune systems, such as those undergoing chemotherapy.

There are several different types of HBOT chambers available, including monoplace and multiplace chambers. Monoplace chambers are designed to accommodate one patient at a time, while multiplace chambers can accommodate several patients at once. The type of chamber used will depend on the specific medical condition being treated and the patient's individual needs.

Overall, HBOT is a safe and effective medical treatment that can help to promote the body's natural healing process. It is a non-invasive procedure that can be used to treat a wide range of medical conditions, from non-healing wounds to traumatic brain injuries. If you are considering HBOT, it is important to speak with your healthcare provider to determine if it is an appropriate treatment option for you.

Crowns

  Crowns are caps that are placed on top of teeth that are damaged due to decay, broken teeth, birth defects and when endodontic treatment has been done.   Crowns are full cover restorations that cover, protect and in turn restore the shape of your teeth.   Crowns can be made from a variety of substances including metal, procelain, resin and ceramic materials.   Dr. Luong does not use stainless steel crowns as they are normally used as a temporary repair and are usually done on children under the age of 6 and done on their primary teeth.   He does use gold crowns, especially if a patient grinds his/hers teeth.   Gold crown are usually more expensive and we normally have to call the lab to find out the cost of gold on that date.   Many Insurance companies will not pay for the added cost of gold; therefore, it is passed on to the patient portion of the procedure. But if the crown lasts longer, even with the grinding, the long term cost outweighs the init...

Prophylaxis

  A dental prophylaxis or teeth cleaning is a procedure that is normally done by our hygienist. The hygienist will thoroughly clean your teeth and this is a preventative measure to stop the progression of periodontal disease and/or gingivitis. Normally most patients come every six months for their prophylaxis; however, some come more often due to periodontal issues, medical conditions (diabetes or autoimmune conditions) or the buildup of plaque occurs quicker than the norm. Once our patient is seated, our hygienist will go over their medical history. Certain medications can cause a dry mouth, which can affect your oral hygiene. Medical conditions and medications can also affect your oral health. Then a quick physical and visual exam of your mouth and neck is done to screen for oral cancer and anything that is evident. Radiographs are taken to assist in finding any oral problems that are not visible to the naked eye, such as decay or abscesses under the gumline. Perio probing i...

Endodontic Treatment AKA Root Canals

  Endodontic treatment is the treatment done by our general dentist, Dr. Luong.   It is the treatment of the soft pulp tissue inside the tooth.   It is usually done to save a tooth that would be extracted.   A root canal is needed when the pulp, which is the inside layer of the tooth or the canals which hold the pulp becomes inflamed and/or infected.   Most patients will experience throbbing pain that keeps them awake at night.   They might also have sensitivity to hot , cold and pressure.   There can also be swelling.   When a patient experiences the above symptoms, it is not uncommon for Dr. Luong to order a round of antibiotics to initially treat the infection.  The antibiotics not only treat the infection, but it helps with the inflammation and in turn expedites the numbing process to get the patient comfortable for their treatment. When you arrive at our dental office in Temple, Texas , you are checked in and asked to take a seat and...
