What is the diffrence between a DDS and a DDD when it comes to dental?

The Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) suffix denotes one of two professional doctorates in the United States and Canada for dentists, the other being Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD).


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.

I'm assuming you mean DDS and DMD. The answer is none.





Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) translates to Latin as Dentariae Chirurgia Doctor or DCD. The schools that give degrees in Latin decided early on that Dentariae Medicinae Doctor (Doctor of Dental Medicine or DMD) looked better on paper.





The curriculum and training are identical, the only difference is that one is in English and one is in Latin.
