MD=Medical Doctor


DDS=Doctor of Dental Science


MD+DDS are two different medical degrees; and the others could not do eachothers job.
Reply:A dentist might be able to do an anesthesia residency, but I am not sure. It used to be one track available to them. A dentist could get an MD, possibly with 3 years instead of 4. There are a few DMD-MD programs in the country.





The "scope" of dentists is techinically limited by the regulations of the state in which you practice, so I won't go into that except to say that most states permit you to practice within the scope of your education. This would actually come into question in a case where the dentist might overstep his bounds and winds up getting sued for practicing medicine without a (proper) license.





I do not understand your question about dentistry abroad, especially since I don't know where you are or what "abroad" means to you.
