What's the difference between a DDS
and a DMD?
The DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) and DMD
(Doctor of Dental Medicine) are the same degrees. The difference
is a matter of semantics. The majority of dental schools award
the DDS degree; however, some award a DMD degree. The education
and degrees are the same.
