I don't live in Lagos
So no need reading the write up.




One chance only happens in the WASTE

In conclusion

1. Can a general hospital employ a dentistand keep him in their MOPD since he is a "medical doctor": yes or no

2. Can a Hospital keep a dentist in their dialysis unit as a member of the medical team there since he is a "medical doctor"

3. Can a dentist be accepted to do residency in pathology since he did MBBS exams in Pathology

4. Can a neurology hospital employ a dentist as one of its medical officers.

5. Are dentist referred to as medical officers or as dental officers in the government sector?

6. Can a medical doctor do residency in Oral Pathology or Pedodontics.

From the above a dentist can never practice as a medical officer or be employed in the stead of a medical officer vice versa.

And to answer the OP dentistry no better and is less more challenging than medicine. It is also a boring course and causes inferiority complex and quackery in Nigeria. It's pay scale is equal or sometimes greater than medical doctors however medicine has a lot of reward and respect and being a medical officer is a thing of pride. The dental officers are always built a small shark at the back of hospitals to pull out teeths and scale tooths.

Make your choice with the fact that all courses are important and everyone can't be a doctor. Also know that some of us are smarter than doctors and dentists and many of them hide under the illusion of their white coat.

Without those courses u cab and will be rich.

The more I read this thread, the more I get confused, is @omonoba saying that the person who specializes in cardiothoraxic surgery, urology, neurosurgery, orthopaedic, pediatrics or gynecology etc are medical doctors while persons who specialize in oral and maxillofacial surgery, oral medicine, periodontology, oral and maxillofacial Pathology etc are not medical doctors even though all of them maintain or restore HUMAN health by counselling, use of drugs or surgery by making diagnosis and treating human diseases, ailments, injuries, pain and other conditions? Please, throw more light on this. Because, the way you explained here, it's like dentistry is more rigorous than medicine going by the way you explain here( double work they do in the University). My uncle who is a consultant in a specialty under dentistry was telling me that all dental surgeons are medical doctors but not all medical doctors are dental surgeons. He also said all urologists are medical doctors but not all medical doctors are urologists. Also, he said all cardiothoraxic surgeons are medical doctors but not all medical doctors are cardiothoraxic surgeons etc etc etc I don't know the perspective in which he is looking at it. Or is it just nomenclature problem? Please more light? Thanks. I m not any though

If it's not medicine and surgery it can never be. Keep all those trash to urself. True medical doctors know these things even though they keep quiet not to sound proud. I am Sgt Ponzi Hater and I give respect to who it is due. Respect is due to physician because they risk their life's everyday, have countless calls and several sleepless nights to ensure that people are kept alive. I can't allow a BDS graduate with less hard work, less respect, less sleepless night, lighter work schedule and very lower demand come here and rub shoulders with those physicians and surgeons. Remember to become the physician, gynaecologist, psychiatrist, neurologist, neurosurgeon u claim are in the same specialty as dentistry they all have one thing in common they all have MBBS or MD or MBcH degrees, so they all have the same first degree and thus speak a common language. Dentist no matter their specialty don't have the same first degree or root as the other specialty and are such a distinct course of its own just like nursing, optometry, radiography and pharmacy. So get it into ur calcified brain that I am very well informed.
