Simon Hullihen (/hʌllɪhɛn/HULL-i-hen) MD, DDS (December 10, 1810 – March 27, 1857) was a dental surgeon born in Point Township, Pennsylvania.[2] He completed his medical degree and then was inspired to seek a career in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Regarded as the first oral surgeon in the United States, he helped to develop many modern techniques of maxillofacial surgery and contributed to the establishment of oral and maxillofacial surgery as a surgical specialty.[3]
