Dear fellow SDN dentists/dental students,
I am about to begin dental school in the fall and had a question that I've not been able to find answers to online and from other dentists...
I am highly interested in pursuing oral surgery specialty following completion of my pre-doctoral education. My question is this: which states allow oral surgeons (who have also completed their MD requirements) allow them to perform all types of facial reconstructive surgery (therapeutic as well as elective)? I recently read that Gov Schwartzenager veto'ed the bill allowing CA oral surgeons to perform elective surgeries. I cannot seem to find any info on the AA of Plastic Surgeons and AA Oral Surgeons website regarding this.
Any and all help would be awesome! Thanks and good luck to you all...
