What is the difference between DDS and DMD, after the dentist’s name?
This designates the degree awarded to the dentist, from the dental school, upon graduation. There is no difference between the two, as both the DMD and DDS have the exact same education. Both degrees use the same curriculum requirements set by the American Dental Association’s Commission on Dental Accreditation.
