PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY

My goal is to educate my patients and colleagues about current concepts in dental medicine and to provide the best ethical advice and care possible for their individual situations. I intend to uphold honesty, integrity, and professionalism as key components of my overall persona and service to humanity. The ability to reach this goal comes from a solid and caring family and wife who support countless hours of out-of-house labor and continuing education. Understanding that my skills as an educator, as a scientist, and as a clinician are God-given gifts, I believe that it is my mission to uphold the ethical ideals of the profession of dentistry and to benefit the patients who it serves.

Dr. Huff is involved in the Mercy Medical Center Dental General Practice Residency Program. He is the program's coordinator of oral mucosal screening. The goal of such a program is to provide the type of training that will give the dental resident an understanding of the relationships of dental treatment to all other aspects of total health care.

Dr. Huff is also a mentor for Spear Education at the Scottsdale Center. Scottsdale Center for Dentistry offers dental professionals the latest in advanced dental education in an exciting, state-of-the-art learning environment.

Among his duties as an educator, Dr. Huff has authored many articles that have been published in both peer reviewed and non-peer reviewed literature. Please take a look at some of his most recent work:

Metabond: An Adhesive or a Splint?
Ethical decision-making for multiple prescription dentistry
