OMS is usally a: Dental specialty, so you would go to dental school first, where ENT is an md or do specialty.

4-6 years: There are 4 year programs as well as 6 year programs ( almost half are 6 year programs now). You complete medial school while a resident, in a 6 year program. So, dental school plus residency will be 8-10 years. I think ENT is 4 years med school, 1 year internship ( required after med school but not after dental school) and then 4 years residency. I hope this helps.

OMFS Residency: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Residency has two pathways available: the first pathway requires 4 years of residency. The second pathway requires 4 years of residency, medical school, and a general surgical internship. Both pathways provide excellent training. ENT residency is generally 5 years including a general surgical internship year.
