Not usually. MD stands for "Medical Doctor" and is a designation awarded upon completion of medical school. Dentists earn either a DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) or a DMD (Doctor of Dental Medicine) upon completion of Dental School. A few Dental specialties require advanced degrees in other areas of medicine and may require an MD, such as Maxillofacial Surgery.

∙ 13y agoA physician is a doctor, so basically you are asking if a dentist is a doctor. There are a few different answers to that. In a way a dentist is a type of doctor (doctor for teeth) but you could also agree that a dentist is a whole other thing. People say "Im going to the dentist" or "Im going to the doctor" so it seems as if they are two different things.
