exactly - thats what i do!
ok, maybe not, but its really useful when complaining about something -you get a lot more respect. it shouldn't be like that, but it is.
I imagine that it depends entirely on who you are complaining to.

And you'd be getting confused with being a medical doctor all the time I expect
Problem?
Getz da ladiez
So what do people think? Is your Dentist a Doctor or not? Does it actually matter?
It's a protected title so no they shouldn't use it.
I am a doctor - I save lives.
I am not a dentist - they clean teeth, and earn more than me.
I don't call myself a dentist, they shouldn't call themselves doctors. Simples
Gobtists, I was in the chair today actually having a clean and had a wisdom tooth out 3 weeks back. £247 for that so I call them robbers.
You're in the wrong field of medicine then.
I had one of my wisdom teeth out three weeks ago (odd coincidence that) and guess what? Cost me the huge sum of £0. You lose.
They should call themselves Dental Engineers.
Run that past me again?
Mine was £0 too, but I tipped them as I am Housey.
Top left out, yours?
Well at least they're not chiropractors calling themselves doctors.
Most GPs in the UK call themselves Dr without having earned a doctorate - the medical profession has done it for a while now - I don't see why dentists can't too.

I reckon firemen and paramedics should be called doctor too then.
The point is, I guess, not what you are entitled to call yourself but what the patient hears/understands. Does a dental patient confuse his dentist's title of "Doctor" when used in a medical setting, with the usual meaning of Doctor? The ASA seems to think that is the case.
