dual qualification …
dual qualification does not mean a medical & a dental degree, it means you get a basic dentistry and then a further board certification in OMFS…If not for ENT surgeons, you think dentists can access the skull base? And sinus/nasal bridge trauma etc necessarily requires ENT guys to “step” into OMFS territory

most max/facs surgeons r dual qualified, and get off with people stepping on their toes, especially ENT surgeons, contary to popular belief, dentists do not want to be medics, as the majority have their heads up their own arse………..
