What suffix do you prefer?

[PChemGrad]

Granted there is nothing different between earning your DDS or your DMD degree. Would you perfer to have the Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) suffix or the Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) suffix?

I read that several studies have been done, most of which show that the average person believes a DMD has more, or better training than a DDS

Probably because of the "MD". It just goes to show that the general public is totally clueless. Good thing I'm getting the DMD.

Worked at an office (DDS doc) and heard the front desk explaining over the phone to a pt that the difference was a DMD received additional training.

I was shocked and sure to educate her.
