DDS – doctor of dental surgery DMD – doctor of dental medicine There is no difference between the two degrees; dentists who have a DMD or DDS have the same education. Universities have the prerogative to determine what degree is awarded. Both degrees use the same curriculum requirements set by the American Dental Associations Commission on Dental Accreditation. Both degrees allow licensed individuals to practice the same scope of general dentistry.
