Best Answer

A Dentist is not a medical doctor, but they are given the same courtesy title 'Dr' in front of their names for having gone through some medical training with the main focus on treating diseases of the oral cavity and oro-facial structures. They are doctors who specialise in diseases of the oral cavity and associated structures.

There is no real difference, it is just semantics. Its a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD). The difference comes from what institution they attend and what degree they were awarded. All training is the same.

Can a dds perform oral surgery?

Yes a D.D.S. (Dr of Dental Science) can perform oral surgery. They usually leave invasive procedures to an oral surgeon who is also a DDS, but specializes in the surgical aspect of dentistry. A regular Dentist can perform surgeries such as wisdom teeth removal or root canals, though. Like I stated above, a regular dentist can refer you to an oral surgeon for a complicated procedure or when the dentist does not have the equipment capable of performing the procedure.
