Hal Huggins

Who is Hal Huggins?

Hal Huggins is an American critic of conventional dentistry, most notably dental amalgam fillings, who has been called "the world's most controversial dentist". During the 1980s, Huggins spearheaded revival of the dental amalgam controversy, and by 1990 had attained prominence. In 1996, Huggins was found guilty of deceptive advertising, practicing beyond dentistry's scope, and gross negligence at his treatment facility, however, and his license was revoked. He has continued to publish and lecture on the claimed health damages, including autoimmune diseases, that Huggins attributes to conventional dentistry.
