What is the difference between a dentist and oral surgeon?
Scott W asked:
Here in the U.S. we have seperate oral surgery offices from the regular dentist, but most of the professionals have a DDS degree, so why are they a seperate practice from a dentist?

a dentist works with teeth, and maybe sometimes with teeth related gum infections
an oral surgeon works with surgical instruments for performing surgeries in the mouth, tounge or cheecks Vizex
An oral surgeon can do more than a dentist. While dentists do the ‘check up’ and ‘teeth pulls’ aspect of oral care, oral surgeons do procedures that require anesthesia where dentists use lighter forms such as numbing and their procedures aren’t as risky. It’s all based on schooling and training. Meg

dentist dont do surgery and things like an oral surgeon does. Jenny
An oral surgeon goes through dental school to obtain his DDS degree but then takes post graduate residency training for 3 years to specialize in his field. He will end up doing no fillings, cosmetic dentistry, braces, and treating gum disease. He will limit his practice to surgical procedures of the mouth and facial area. grandpa walleye
