Dentist Delaware

Up until 1867 the only dental degree available was the D.D.S. or Doctor of Dental Surgery. After adding its dental school in 1867, Harvard decided to change the degree to D.M.D. or "Dentariae Medicinae Doctor" because degrees were only granted in Latin. The Latin translation for D.D.S. was not appealing to Harvard. In regards to the curriculum for each degree, nothing is different. The only difference in each degree is the University awarding it and which they have chose to use. The ADA continues to attempt to come up with a solution to end the confusion.
