For example, doctors are called "Dr", until they are a consultant, at which point they want to be called "Mr". Seems strange to do all that hard work and then want to lose the title!

I mean, it’s one thing to want to defend an honorific on principle, or even in the hopes of preventing patient harm but does Dr. Crippen really believe that this title change will confuse patients in the slightest? As he points out “doctors are doctors and dentists are dentists” which, despite the recent changes, every schoolchild knows. As other commenters have pointed out the Dr. Honorific has been used for and by dentists in the United States for quite a long time and yet there has never to my knowledge been legal, professional or even circumstantial difficulty as a result. Perhaps Dr. Crippen will next want to challenge those holding Doctorates in Philosophy, Law or the Veterinary Arts. After all, by his definition they are not ‘doctors’ either.

Someone drilling into the teeth in my mouth and using a needle, dealing with gum tissue and blood is at minimum overseen by a Doctor.
