==Overview== The '''Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS)''' is a professional doctoral degree awarded to individuals who have completed a recognized program of study in [[dentistry]]. It is one of the two primary degrees (alongside the [[DMD]]) that qualifies a person to practice as a general [[dentist]] in the United States, Canada, and several other jurisdictions. While the titles differ in name, the '''[[American Dental Association]] (ADA)''' and the '''Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA)''' treat the DDS and DMD as academically and clinically equivalent.
