Whats the difference from a DDS and a DMD, and do most dentists stop there or do they attain a specialty? Is Stopping with your DDS, like a med school grad without residency?
What degrees to dentist mostly have?
The DDS (doctor of dental surgery) and the DMD (doctor of dental medicine) degree are the same degree with a different name. Some dental schools just moved to awarding the DMD (my guess is that it is because it is more similar to the MD degree.
Most dentists are general dentists, but some do go on to a dental specialty. See the definitions of dental specialties here: http://www.ada.org/prof/ed/specialties/d...
