A hyperbaric oxygen machine is a specialized medical device that delivers 100% oxygen in a pressurized environment, allowing the body to absorb significantly more oxygen than it would under normal atmospheric pressure. This increased oxygen intake promotes the healing of tissues, boosts the immune system, and aids in the recovery process for various conditions.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is typically conducted in a sealed chamber, where the pressure gradually increases, allowing oxygen to dissolve into the bloodstream more efficiently. Our board-certified periodontist, Dr. Lauren Anderson, uses HBOT to treat a range of health issues, including chronic infections, wound healing, and conditions like carbon monoxide poisoning and decompression sickness. It is often used in conjunction with other treatments to accelerate recovery and improve overall healing outcomes.
This increased oxygen intake promotes the healing of tissues, boosts the immune system, and aids in the recovery process for various conditions.
We use hyperbaric oxygen machines at Anderson Periodontal Wellness because they significantly enhance the body’s ability to heal and recover by delivering pure oxygen in a pressurized environment. This increased oxygen concentration improves circulation, promotes tissue regeneration, and accelerates healing wounds, infections, and injuries. The therapy can particularly benefit chronic non-healing wounds, bone infections, and radiation injuries.
By flooding the body with oxygen, the hyperbaric oxygen machine helps stimulate collagen production and new blood vessels, improving overall tissue health. Additionally, it supports the immune system and reduces inflammation, making it a powerful adjunct to various medical and dental treatments, aiding faster recovery and better outcomes.
During a typical session at Anderson Periodontal Wellness, patients relax in a comfortable chamber while the pressure gradually increases, which can take a few minutes. As the pressure rises, you may experience a sensation in your ears, similar to when flying or diving, but this is completely normal and can be relieved by swallowing or yawning. The treatment is painless, and sessions typically last 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the treatment plan.
There is no downtime after each session, and many patients report feeling relaxed, refreshed, and rejuvenated. Over time, regular use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy can promote healing, reduce inflammation, and enhance the body’s ability to repair damaged tissues. After multiple treatments, some patients may notice improvements in energy levels, skin health, and overall wellness.

Dr. Lauren Anderson uses HBOT to support faster healing and improve treatment outcomes.
HBOT offers numerous benefits, including:
Enhanced healing for wounds and infections.
Improved circulation and collagen production.
Reduced inflammation and faster recovery.
Bone regeneration and immune system support.
Stress reduction and improved overall wellness.
HBOT is ideal for patients recovering from:
Chronic non-healing wounds or bone infections.
Radiation injuries or dental procedures like implants and extractions.
Conditions like carbon monoxide poisoning or decompression sickness.
Dr. Anderson tailors HBOT to complement other treatments, ensuring optimal results.
HBOT enhances recovery after dental procedures by increasing oxygen delivery to tissues, reducing inflammation, and promoting faster healing. It’s particularly beneficial for patients undergoing dental implants, bone grafting, or extractions, as it accelerates tissue regeneration and reduces the risk of complications.
