There’s a common misconception that there’s only one requirement to become a dentist: graduate from dental school. In reality, there’s so much more to it! In addition to obtaining an undergraduate degree and being accepted to an accredited dental school, they must earn their Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or a Doctor of Dental Sciences (DDS) degree and commit to life-long training. Dr. Philipps, for example, earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine at Tufts University and pursues continuing education each year with prestigious institutes, like the KOIS Center, SPEAR, and the Pankey Institute!
