Which Is Better In Your Opinion Md Or Dds?
I am in dental school, but I just wanted to get some opinions given the following information. Ave MD salary for GP 130,000. Ave DDS salary for GP 120,000, MD high malpractice insur., DDS low malpractice insur., MD hours/day 11, DDS hours/day 9, MD days/week 5-6, DDS days/week 4-5, MD cost of schooling 140,000, DDS cost of schooling 160,000. Duration of MD schooling 4 years, Duration of DDS schooling 4 years. Degree earned for both = doctorate, MD more prestige, DDS, less prestige. MD residency 3-5 years. Dental residency 1-3 years (unless OMS 4 years (6yrs to get OMS and MD)) What do you guys think is the best option from your personal point of view? Just curious.

Kacey, if I were you I’d continue where you are going. We need more sweet and gentle dentists!!! There are so many kids that are scared to death and older people who have such bad experience in “the olden days” that a kind and caring person could really help them out!
Well if you are a DDS you do the same things day in day out.
Perhaps a really bad case may come along or you can be a childrens dentist and all the parents rave about you!!!
A doctor can see various things during the day not just tooth related. But it’s what is in your heart.
Everyone needs a doctor and everyone needs a dentist.
I respect both!
They appear to be two different streams of schooling. Since there is no significant difference other than hours of work, it all comes down to what you want to work on, only teeth or the whole body? Since you are in dental school, why change?
