About Me
Dr. Huggins says, “There are two things about my profession that I enjoy the most. One is being able to play with a child who is scared so he/she has fun at the dental office and then loves coming to see the dentist. The other is to teach parents about oral health and realistically help them make those changes little by little.”
“I am very grateful to be blessed with a career I enjoy tremendously and that allows me to be part of so many lives! I love the science of dentistry. Cool chemistry and technology combine to make so many procedures easier and far more comfortable for our patients. I always felt like it was a great fit for me and would allow me to also be a wife and a mom.”
After graduating from Angelo State University, Dr. Huggins received her Dental Degree from the Baylor College of Dentistry. She was awarded her M.S. in Pediatric Dentistry from the University of North Carolina. She’s a member of the American Association of Pediatric Dentistry, the Marion-Polk County Dental Society and the Oregon Dental Association. She is also a Commander in the US Navy Reserve.
Dr. Huggins says, “Enjoying time with my husband and three kids. Also, reading, running, gardening succulent plants, and traveling. My husband and I have a film company that produces wholesome entertainment the whole family can enjoy and be encouraged!”
