Doctors etc

When we go to the Doctors we refer to him or her as such, i.e. Hello Doctor 'Jones' or whatever the surname. How come then when we go to the Dentists we don't say, Hello Dentist Brown, or whatever?? Or again, Hello Plumber Smith etc etc??

Some dentists are doctors. I know an electrician who is a doctor..

I just call them all ‘love’..I suppose they could complain though.

Why are some doctors called mister

Probably surgeon's or consultant's etc

I believe, it is to do with going beyond the required study of "Doctor" and becoming a specialist in a particular medical field.
A person (Mister...) in the medical field tends to hold the title "Doctor".

In some countries, a person can use a number of titles together; therefore, can hold the title: Doctor Doctor...
In the UK, it is customary to only use one title with the necessary qualifications after the name.

But, to check this, there is Google. Although, Google does not always provide the information required.

Surgeons in the UK are traditionally called ‘Mr’ or ‘Ms’ instead of ‘Dr’ due to the fact that surgery was historically performed by ‘barber surgeons.’ These barbers didn’t have any formal qualifications, as opposed to doctors, who held a recognised medical degree conferring the title ‘Dr.’

JUST A THOUGHT.. IT IS AGAINST THE LAW TO PUT THE "DR" PREFIX BEFORE YOUR NAME IF YOU AREN'T A DOCTOR???

Admin you can use any prefix title you want has long you don't use it for fraudulent purposes

I wonder what would be the situation if you named your son's Christian name as Doctor???

Why only your son?

I give them all the same welcome T'Areet,etc etc...no better than anyone else.

over here you call all dentists doctor

Paul Nurse, Nobel Prize winner and director of Francis Crick Institute, was once Doctor Nurse until he moved on to become Professor Nurse.

There was also a Doctor Doctor around at one time.
