Arthur Clarence McKaig (January 11, 1918 - May 28, 2001) was an American Pentecostal evangelical preacher and revivalist faith healer known for his "dental ministries" that included such alleged feats as the apporting of silver and porcelain fillings into cavities, tightening of dentures, adjustment of over- and under-bites, and cure of periodontitis, in addition to more conventional healing fare.
