Question:

When choosing a Dentist, what's the difference between a DDS and a DMD?


Answers:

A DDS is a doctor of dental surgery and a DMD is a doctor of dental medicine. I pulled the following quote from wikipedia "The American Dental Association states that the DDS and DMD degrees are identical, and dentists who hold the DDS have received the same education and training as dentists with the DMD, the difference being merely a matter of preference of terminology by the school granting the degree".
