What degrees to dentist mostly have?

The DDS (doctor of dental surgery) and the DMD (doctor of dental medicine) degree are the same degree with a different name. Some dental schools just moved to awarding the DMD (my guess is that it is because it is more similar to the MD degree.\n\nMost dentists are general dentists, but some do go on to a dental specialty. See the definitions of dental specialties here: http://www.ada.org/prof/ed/specialties/definitions.asp

Here's the ADA site, which has a ton of information on courses and schools:\n\nhttp://www.ada.org/public/education/careers/dentistry_bro.asp

Dentistry an Biotechnology are totally different subjects,\nBiotechnology is one of three High Tech science fields and includes advanced genetics to change micro-organism structure and turn them into useful beings. biotech is a field of research and research.\nwhere\nDentistry has some art in its nature and the job will become psychomotor for the dentist when graduated, means doing the same thing most of the time with lower level of creativity than biotech.\n\nboth are not totally safe subjects since you will deal with viruses in both,\n\ndentistry seems to be closer to money.\nbiotech seems to need more devotion.\n\ndecision is yours.\n\nbut think of the subject you like more, thats all.

Dentistry is good. I'm not sure how it is in the States, but here you can (and must) practice dentistry with only an undergraduate degree. You will not be accepted into a doctorate degree without at least 8 years' clinical experience, if memory serves me correctly.\n\nBut you do have to ask yourself if you want to spend the rest of your professional life staring into people's mouths, especially when many of them will have bad breath and a lot of them will only have come to you because they have a problem and haven't had a checkup in years.

If a university has a dental school, chances are it offers free dental work done by the students and supervised by their teachers.  I got a lot of good work done while I was at University of Michigan, but I had to go back more often than I would have to a regular dentist, because the work was done in stages and the supervising dentist, the professor, had to check every step.  But it was free.

I think there are probably several steps and&#92;or options.  Contacting any university that has a School of Dentistry should be able to provide you with this information.  If you have graduated from a School of Dentistry then your faculty advisor should also be able to assist you.

To become a dentist you need to go to undergrad school in a biological science. You need to know how the body works and how teeth grow and decay. You need to know how materials react with the body. You need to know how bacteria of the mouth might effect other parts. You are working with a living organism so you need to know how the living organism works.

In order to get your DMD, you will need at least a bachelorate degree...and it is getting more and more competitive to where many of the in coming dental students have masters and Phds.\n\nAs to what is considered a top college for pre-dental...that depends on the region you are looking at.

Usually you can contact the local colleges..unless there is an actual dental school around you.  I live in Ohio, and we can go to OSU medical to the dentist.  I know a lot of people who do and say it's much cheaper!  Good luck!

Dentistry is a bit difficult field, but if you pass out, you earn in gold. If you are patient enough to wait for 10 years, then you must try going

for your information, dentists attend 4 years of professional training culminating in a dental degree.  dentists are experts in the treatment of head and neck because their training focuses on this area.  just as you would not want a dentist doing an ultrasound on your testicles, you would not want a cardiovascular surgeon doing your root canal.  specialties exist for a reason...  also, medical schools teach absolutely nothing about treating oral diseases having to do with teeth.  feel free to go to your proctologist for your next dental procedure if you think dentists are not worthy of your mouth.

Their may be some dental colleges near you and the dentists trainees can do the work.\n     Don't worry,their work is well supervised.

Not too many..especially "academic" degrees.  Most money-making degrees are categorized as "professional" degrees such as doctor, dentist, and lawyer...all of which are doctoral-level degrees, roughly equivalent to Ph.D.

It might not be possible, studying to be a dentist might take up more time than you might think it would.  You could always play and sing in your spare time, but if you want a career as a dentist, the music will have to be put on the back burner.

The vast majority of applicants to dental schools in the United States have completed as a minimum a bachelor's degree. Prerequisite courses for dental schools across the country include 1 year of biology with their corresponding labs, 1 year of chemistry with labs, 1 year of organic chemistry also with labs and a year of physics. Students applying to North American schools are then required to then take the DAT or Dental admissions test. If admitted, dental school is 4 years (a few are 3) plus between 2-3 years to specialize in areas such as prosthedontics, endodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery etc.\n\nAll in all it takes about 8 years inclusive of a bachelor's degree to earn the DDS or DMD degree which are both equivalent degrees. Hope this helps. Check out Wikipedia for more detailed info or the American Dental Association's website www.ada.org
