DDS

DDS Edmonton

If you're in search of a dentist, you may have come across different degrees listed, with most dentists having either a DDS or a DMD. It's important to know that these two degrees are equivalent and indicate that your dentist has graduated from an accredited dental school. The DDS stands for Doctor of Dental Surgery, while DMD can stand for Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry or Doctor of Dental Medicine. Despite the different abbreviations, dentists with a DDS or DMD have received the same level of education, as both degrees follow the same curriculum requirements.

The choice between awarding a DDS or DMD degree typically depends on the university's preference and tradition. However, the education and training dentists receive are consistent, ensuring that they are well-qualified to provide dental care to patients.
