What taxonomy code 125Q00000X means
125Q00000X is the National Uniform Claim Committee code for Dentist, Oral Medicine, in the grouping Dental Providers. 48 NPPES records list it as their primary taxonomy (file of Aug 9, 2026).
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.

Common questions
Why is Oral Medicine Dentistry a thin NUCC code in NPPES?
Only 48 NPIs list Oral Medicine Dentistry as primary taxonomy across 14 states (peak Massachusetts, 12). That is 578th of 688 NUCC codes by headcount. Thin codes are still searchable by NPI; do not treat the low count as a quality signal.
Do the few Oral Medicine Dentistry NPIs in Open Payments look unusual?
CMS Open Payments 2024 lists 5 paid Oral Medicine Dentistry physicians totaling $447 (10 payments; average $89, 424th of 470 by average). Presence is not a quality judgment; thin specialties often have sparse payment rows.
How much Part D prescribing does this specialty do?
Among Oral Medicine Dentistry NPIs, 33 appear in the Medicare Part D Prescriber PUF (average 241 claims and $7K drug cost per prescriber; 257th of 496 specialties by average claims). Non-prescribing clinicians in the same NUCC code are still in NPPES.
