Is a Dentist equal to a Doctor? / Do dentists get a degree of 'doctor'?

I EXPECTED SOME CONTRADICTORY ANSWERS, THAT IS WHY I CHECKED BACK.THE TRUTH IS, IF A BDS GUY SERIOUSLY PURSUES TO BECOME A GOOD ORTHODONTIST OR PROSTHODONTIST, NOTHING CAN STOP HIM.BECAUSE POSTGRADUATE DEGREE MAINLY EQUIPS ONE FOR PRACTICAL WORK, FOR 2+ YEARS.

I HAVE SEEN BDS GUYS DOING BETTER WORK THAN A POSTGRADUATE EVEN BEFORE HE PASSES OUT. THEY GET "APPRENTICED" UNDER SOME GOOD CLINICIAN AND SQUEEZE OUT THE SKILL WHILE THEY ARE STUDENTS,ITSELF.

Hope some dental surgeon will see how naive the world about them.BDS (Bachelor of dental surgery).It does not mean they are more or less they are allow to practice basic work in relation to oral medicine,but like all other branches they have more than 15 specailities.

But one click of Google can answer many things ,if no

books available.

elegance....a dintist could never be a master in all dental-related areas with a simple bachelor degree....just like medical grads he has to specilaize in one of the fields say prosthodontics,orthodontics,periodontics,maxillo-facial surgery

A MEDICAL GRADUATE IS A JACK OF ALL TRADES, BUT MASTER OF NONE UNTIL HE SPECIALISES WITH A POSTGRADUATE DEGREE OR DIPLOMA. BUT A DENTIST BECOMES THE MASTER OF HIS TRADE WITH A DEGREE ITSELF IF HE DOES THE COURSE IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE.

YES, A DENTAL SURGEON IS A DOCTOR.BEING A DENTIST IS RISKIER THAN BEING A PHYSICIAN DUE TO MANY REASONS.

Ummm, Its Speciality. They r not equal to doctors ofcourse But they r Doctors of their Field only :)

They are specialist, so this ranks them more than Doctors, But as they r limited to 1 field only and doctors covers all so they are not equal to them
