What Oral Medicine covers
Oral Medicine is the specialty of dentistry responsible for the oral health care of medically complex patients and for the diagnosis and management of medically related diseases, disorders and conditions affecting the oral and maxillofacial region. Oral Medicine specialists have training and expertise in the diagnosis and management of oral and mucosal diseases, medical management of maxillofacial pathologies from hematology and oncology, organ transplant services, autoimmune disorders, including acute and chronic pain conditions of oral & maxillofacial region. Oral Medicine specialists co-manage oral and maxillofacial conditions and diseases in collaboration with medical specialists and other dentists in hospitals and outpatient medical clinics, particularly in the management of patients with complex medical conditions requiring multidisciplinary healthcare intervention.

The taxonomy records how the provider classifies their own practice. It does not confirm which conditions they currently treat, whether they are accepting new patients, or which insurance they take — call the office for that.
Full NPPES record
An NPI-1 identifies a single person. It stays with the clinician for life, even if they move practice or change state, which is why the address on file can lag behind where they actually work today.

Number check
How the check works, step by step
Every NPI carries a Luhn check digit — the same scheme used on credit cards. CMS prefixes the number with 80840 before computing it, which marks it as a US health identifier.
| Digit | 8 | 0 | 8 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 6 | 5 | 7 | 3 | 0 | 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Doubled? | — | ×2 | — | ×2 | — | ×2 | — | ×2 | — | ×2 | — | ×2 | — | ×2 |
| Value | 8 | 0 | 8 | 8 | 0 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 6 | 1 | 7 | 6 | 0 | 3 |
Sum = 56 · next multiple of 10 = 60 · check digit = 4 · actual last digit = 4
A valid check digit only means the number is well-formed. It does not mean the provider is licensed, active, or in good standing — those are separate questions answered by the sections above.
