What is the difference between DMD and DDS?

They're literally the same degree, but at Harvard the latinization of DMD looked too close to MD so they changed it to DDS because it looks better in Latin. There is zero difference between the degrees, it's just a stylistic choice that was originally made for aesthetic reasons

One is better than the other. It’s up to you to figure out which is which!

Almost had it. Maryland was the first dental college and they awarded a DDS. Harvard was the first to offer a DMD due to translation issues.

To OP: DDS and DMD are one in the same
