Has the sentiment between 4-year and 6-year OMFS residencies changed in recent years?

I was saying both were concerning that he doesn’t have training in family practice/dermatology and that the medications were for family. But I agree, the family part was the most concerning for me.

OMFS does treat facial skin conditions etc up to and including skin cancers, so the first part of that is not necessarily correct.

I would personally never write meds for family.

Aren't there also a lot of GP's that do M3s and implants? Or do OMFS get paid more to do those procedures?

Lots of GPs do those procedures. I’ve had the pleasure of taking many of those to the OR to clean out the resulting infections 😉

In reality they can do a lot of those procedures safely and effectively. But what OMFS offers is more extensive training, deep sedation/GA, as well as the ability to manage the complications
