Hi,
Pls give me some information about community dentist.
I mean, to work as a community dentist(In US) do we have to pursue masters in community dentistry or just DDS/DMD is enough?
or, MPH and DDS can be OK?
Pls answer this question.
Thank you in advance.
Cheers!

I have heard mixed opinions on this.some say mph with dds and 1 year residency qualifies you to write the community dentistry boards but others say different.I say call some schools that offer programs to find out.
