Yes indeed.

I may be wrong, but I don't think that a dentist has any 'normal' doctor training, I understood that they pretty much only dealt with the mouth.

Could be wrong though.smiley - biggrin

I could always ask the cute dental nurse.smiley - cdoublesmiley - boing

I presume that dentist is a different qualification since all the dentist I have seen have been known as 'Mr' or 'Mrs' or 'Ms' rather than Dr. Presumably therefore, they are not Doctors as in a GP. Certainly there are specialist dental colleges and so forth. In fact, when I needed some expensive dental treatment one option was to have it done at the dental college where they teach the students smiley - yikes
