Healthy gums are critical to good dental health, as well as key to your overall physical wellbeing. Left untreated, gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, can lead to sore, bleeding gums and even tooth loss at more advanced stages. There’s also evidence that individuals with periodontal disease tend to be at higher risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, dementia, and pregnancy complications. Luckily, in many cases, gum disease can be prevented by good dental habits.

"I am thrilled to be a part of this exciting new venture, allowing us the opportunity to treat and serve our patient base in a new, modern facility with the latest in dental equipment and technology available" stated Dr. Mike Huggins. The Oxford dentistry team will consist of Dr. Huggins, Dr. Danna Nobile, and Dr. Steve Wooten along with their locally known and respected hygienists, operations and administrative personnel which will service the Oxford area and surrounding communities.
