Nobody gives a hoot about your abrasive tone or the lack thereof.

You're just one very silly muthervucker and one would not be too far from the truth if one concludes Dentists are the bane of your existence and that they contributed in no small way to your pervading misery.

You can approach The Punch and tell them you want to be a weekly columnist and all you want to publish are your several reasons why Dentists are not Doctors and how they should be stripped of all the rights they have.

Also, ensure to tell them how Dentists should be in the same league with Optometrists and Chiropractors and how you want the registrar of the MDCN to be sacked because he is a Dentist and not a Doctor.

Similarly visit the Nigerian Senate and tell them to expedite the dissolution of the MDCN and NMA (constitutional amendments) as Physicians and Dental Surgeons are not supposed to be together as the latter cannot be possibly referred to as a Doctor both professionally and traditionally by a sane person.

Yours is indeed a very sorry case.

I expect another drivel anyways.

Dear @horpeyemmi66

You keep misquoting me to drive home a lie.

Nowhere did I mention that Dentists are not Doctors. Nigeria, America and some other countries accept them as one, so why should I say they are not? The UK doesn't so if you stepped in there your title seizes.

Also, in no other working country can a Dentist publicly declare himself a medical doctor, without being handed a warning, or if persistent with no insight a suspension, from the regulatory authority, as this would be regarded as a serious breech of problty. Anything goes in Nigeria, and you are in the best place to claim to be a Medical Doctor, even alternative practicioners claim to be Medical Doctors.


MDCN is Medical and Dental Council, so a Dentist can definitely lead that organisation. No problem!

My point will remain the truth that Dentists are not Medical Doctors, and when the term medical doctor is used, it is exclusively reserved to MBBS, MBMbch and MD. You may have done many courses with Medical Doctors, but this does not qualify you to be one.

The other point is, it is easier to introduce yourself as a Dentist to avoid ambiguity, but because of the Nigerian craze for undeserved title. "A dental School experience", was quickly changed to "My Medical School experience".

I never dreamt to be a Dentist, not now, and not in the world to come. I, by the grace of the almighty , found myself in the profession I always want to be, and will not ever decieve people to gain relevance, like most Nigerian Dentists are doing.

It is you who found yourself in Dentistry after wanting to study MBBS, so cling on to the term Medical Doctor for dare life. It's quite different cut off and work to get admitted in those courses, and even the blind knows this. More than 90% of Dentist found themselves in Dentistry, and claiming medical Doctor is the biggest consolation.

I am a very decent and an excellently trained professional, and will never trade insultive words in a cerebral discourse, so I live you to wallow in the expletives you are spewing.

Dentist can be Doctors, but are definitely 100% not medical Doctors! For the upteempth time MDCN is Medical and Dental. Medical for the MBBS part of things/ Medical Doctors and Dental for the dentist/Dental surgeons or Dental Doctors side of things.

May the future be kind to us all

I agree with sgtponzi. The OP could easily have titled his experience accurately. You are a Dentist! Why not share your dental school experience? Why don’t medical doctors who share their experience say they want to dental school and took courses with dental students?


The shameful desire to Rope BDS and MBBS is tiring. All this I took a few courses medical students took. I sat in the same classroom as medical students screams low self esteem.


Most times Unis group this two together to save cost. Medical students could be 100 and dental students 50. It will be easily to lecture them together. If Medicine admits 500+ yearly and dentistry admits 500+, I’m certainly no one will group them together.
Re: My Medical School Experience- The Fighting Spirit by sgtponzihater1(m): 12:08pm On Feb 23, 2022
Very glad to know someone understands my point.

As a Dentist you cannot sit a medical licensing exam anywhere in the world. This itself puts to rest the question of whether you are a medical doctor or not .

All Medical Doctors should be eligible to sit Medical licensing exams USLME, PLAB, AMC, PRES etc for whatever country. If your degree doesn't qualify for these, then you are simply not a Medical Doctor. Sorry!

Dentist have their own licensing exams which is unique to them and Medical Doctors also do not qualify for this. They are simply not Dental Doctors. Sorry for them too!

Stay your course, and maximize what you have in your hands, without being unnecessarily flustered about the title others have attained, when we are ourselves sitting on a pot of diamond.

We will all be rich someday of we push sensibly.

Where on this thread have you seen anyone here claiming Dentists are medical doctors? You barefaced liar.

And for goodness sakes, if you would attempt to twist the truth on its head, read in between the lines very well. In the UK, Dental Surgeons and any other type of Surgeon are referred to as Mr/Mrs/Miss as the case might be for HISTORICAL REASONS.

In the UK, if one attends medical school and gets the MBBS (or any the version of it), he gets to be called Doctor. When he's done with Specialist Training in any facet of Surgery he becomes a Mr. again.

So essentially in the UK Surgeons go from
Mr to Dr to Mr.

It's also very silly of you to say because one couldn't get Medicine, one decided to settle for Dentistry. It shows how pathetic you really are.

Don't quote me anymore, I have nothing else to say to you as regards this. You can go wa.nk off in victory.

The reason why UK do not call Dentist Doctors is far off your analogy, and is again another of your lame attempt self glorification. Dentist do not have Mr as a title in the UK. You don't attain Mr title by doing a 5-6 years bachelor's degree. Mr is given to a surgeon who has completed Medical school, and then undergone further extensive training and has become a fellow of the royal college of surgeons.

The internet has made the world a global village and you could utilize it more before making "stony dull" allusions.

Hate me or like me, you won't be the first. What is always true is that, I shine light in the face of liars and it upsets them enough. There were myriads of naysayers like you calling me all sort of names in the height of the Ponzi scheme era, that you would think that they were right and I was wrong. In the end they all came back with a bloody nose. Because their heart was inherently evil, almost none came back to admit that they were wong. I still remember 2 people who did, and I consider them heaven bound.

I have helped thousands make positive, life changing decisions, and saved many from grinding themselves into penury. That's what I stand for, justice, equity and truth.

It's for the young dental aspirant to know from the outset, that studying Dentistry would not make them Medical Doctors, and as such be happy with the career decision they've chosen. Those who were decieved are probably the ones finding my very respectful allusions offensive.

My message it's simple A dentist is a Doctor, depending on the substantive law of a country, but are not Medical Doctors, and do not qualify to write any medical licensing exam.

Don't let the heading of this post fool you.

Quick question: why don’t medical students want to be roped with dental students? Why don’t we hear “I took same courses with dental students? Im in dental school? Etc from medical students?


About the number of students admitted into MBBS/BDS programs, my point is that if these department admitted a high number of students, they won’t be grouped together and all this “ I took x courses with medical students so I’m a medical student or in medical school “ won’t be applicable.

Another obviously muddled link. That totally tries to paint my original post in red.

You do not get the title Mr by studying only BDS, and that's what I said in the beginning. A fresh graduate of BDS in the UK does not earn any Mr title and this is simple English.

You require further postgraduate training in Medical or Dental surgery to earn a Mr title.

In Nigeria, US and some other countries as fresh BDS graduate earns Dr title and not Mr.

In the end Dentist are not Medical Doctors.

All the best!

In my experience, medical students do this only when they want to help BDS feel better about themselves.

Dentistry isn’t a sub class of medicine. Dentistry should be Dentistry. The Dr and Surgeon analogy doesn’t quite fit in this case.


I’m yet to see a medical student slightly equate their profession with Dentistry. But for Dental students, the validation seeking is too much. Every time, we share same faculty with medical students, we took y courses with medical student, I’m both a medical practitioner and dentist. The only health cases I can’t handle are gynecology/pediatric cases etc. MBBS don’t do this.

Is this a huge joke? You have to be on a specialist register to be a specialist. The MDCN has specialist register, if you are not in there you know you are definitely not a specialist.

Quick one. Now that you know Podiatrists are surgeons. What’s your take on that?

If Podiatry was to be accredited in Nigeria, should it has its own faculty? Should MDCN over see it?

Is this a huge joke? You have to be on a specialist register to be a specialist. The MDCN has specialist register, if you are not in there you know you are definitely not a specialist.

Same with any other system world over
Specialist in this sense denotes having expertise on a particular region of the body (oral cavity) [first definition from the dictionary below]... I also went further to mention that u would have to do ur residency in any of the dental specialty to become a consultant (which is where u would be recognized as a dental specialist by the MDCN/NMA {second definition})...
