If you've been searching for a dentist, you may have come across two different degrees: DMD and DDS. While they appear distinct, they actually signify the same level of education and training in the field of dentistry. Here's what you need to know:
Both DDS and DMD degrees are equivalent in terms of the education and qualifications they represent. The difference in terminology primarily arises from the choice of terminology used by different dental schools or universities. In essence:
The specific degree title, whether DDS or DMD, is determined by the individual dental school or university. However, it's important to note that the curriculum and educational requirements for both degrees are essentially the same. Dentists with either a DDS or DMD degree undergo similar training and coursework, making them equally qualified to practice dentistry.
When choosing a dentist, you can have confidence that whether they hold a DDS or DMD, they have received the necessary education and training to provide dental care. If you have any specific questions or concerns about your dentist's qualifications or services, don't hesitate to reach out to Crossing Bridge Family Dentistry at (613) 435-4340.
