    B.Dent.Sci. BA (Dublin) - Standard dental degree
    MFD's - Member Faculty Dentistry RCSI.
    LDS RCS - Brittish royal college Licentiate in Dental Surgery
    MBBCh - Old masters in dentistry from Dublin.

    This is a dentist with a masters in some speciality (cant tell from the letters). You can tell what they specialise in cause the call themselves a periodontist, or endodontist etc......

    MBBCH is a primary medical degree (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery), so it means they are qualified both as a medical doctor and as a dentist.

    Fetard, cop on if you can't see humour in a post then you'll have serious issues in boards. I would suggest you actually look at the posts from OS, he gets nothing from giving people advice on this forum which he does quite a lot of.
