Can some one who holds a degree like MSD put Dr in front of their name?

No, someone with an MSD (Master of Science in Dentistry) cannot put "Dr." in front of their name.

Here's why:

* "Dr." is a title reserved for medical doctors (MDs) and doctors of philosophy (PhDs).

* MSD is a professional degree, specifically for dentists. It does not qualify someone to use the title "Dr."

* Dentists use the title "DDS" or "DMD" (Doctor of Dental Surgery or Doctor of Dental Medicine) after their name.

While an MSD is a respectable and important degree, it doesn't carry the same weight as an MD or PhD in terms of the "Dr." title.
