Dental degree

I think dentistry is DSD.

Or DDS, I

think.

DDS, yeah.

This

is just DD, Doctor of Divinity.

Natalia, how are you doing? Dr.

Natalia Chalmers, DDS, another PhD, MHSC.

I mean, I can't even read your bio.

Just tell the homies listening, give them your own resume.

But, hey, we had a great Saturday night.

You and I were at a – we had a hot date.

And it was – we went to Premier and Dr. Jeanette McLean, who's DDS FAA PD, who's a – A legend in pediatric dentistry who's right up the street.

She's on the board of the editorial board for Dentaltown Magazine.

This is something provided.

So she is Dr. Patricia A. Simon, DDS.

That's us.

We went to dental school.

We were DDSs.

A board-certified orthodontist raised just south of Buffalo in western New York.

So her roots are Buffalo Bills.

And I think James Melville was talking about that.

It's almost easier to operate within having your DDS than having the MD, you know,

100%.

100%.

Now I started to become a little bit more aggressive and I started to incorporate recent technology like the stereotype or the proteocyte testing to become and give the patient more of an individual experience and a customizable experience rather than just paint them with one brush.

The second thing is Shivyat.

She is a surgeon out of Loma Linda, a PhD, MD, DDS, fellowship trained surgeon.

And Shivyat brought in the markers and the environment and the micro environment of the malignancy.

Massage them to stretch them out a little bit, get some circulation flowing through it, and then work on stretching three times a day.

That's what I would recommend, you know? David Tran said, where you go for DDS? Stony Brook.

David Tran filed a live career.

Thanks, Dave.

It's quiet.

But David Tran said, I heard you need good business skills in order to open a good dental school.

Probably, right? You know, David Tran said, does it matter where you go for DDS? In a way, it might.

Yeah, you know, I think I got a really good clinical experience at Stony Brook and set me up for success.

And the deeper I went, you know, I had some wonderful mentors.

I want to give a shout out to a mentor, Dr. Stephen Moss, who's an MD, DDS, PhD, wrote the textbook on children's dentistry, pediatric dentistry.

And he mentored me on the oral microbiome back in like 2004.

And I started going further down the rabbit hole.

They're not doctors.

DDS, Doctor of Dental Surgery.

Yeah, my initials.

I mean, it's crazy.

Your doctorate in oral...

DDS, Doctor of Dental Surgery.

Surgery.

Okay.

Thanks for coming on.

A rigs seven, four said, what's a DDS dental.

Yeah.

DDS is dental.

DDS stands for doctor of dental surgery.

It means the same thing as the DMD that's doctorate of medicine in dentistry.

This is doctorate of dental surgery.

If you like working in the hospital settings and a very corporate structure, because 89% of medicine is corporate now, right? You can be working in a hospital unless your dermatology, plastic surgery, or like two other specialties, you're going to be in a corporate setting.
