| How to Address a Retired Dentist?
I would like to know when addressing a card to a retired dentist and his wife, how should the envelope be addressed?
Dr. & Mrs. John Smith or Mr. & Mrs. John Smith.
-- Cari Winters
Dear Ms. Winters:
It is absolutely ...
Dr. and Mrs. John Smith
(Address)
Doctors continue to use their "Dr." as an honorific forever.
-- Robert Hickey
How to Address a Dentist & His Wife?
When addressing a letter to a dentist and his wife, do you use Dr. and Mrs. John H. Smith, DDS or either the Dr. or the DDS? I appreciate your help.
-- Debra Kowanetz
Dear Debra:
I cover this in my book's chapter on "Professionals and Academics".
If you are addressing a letter to a dentist and his wife ... it is probably a social letter. Post-nominals are not used on social correspondence.
An official/professional letter to his office would be:
John H. Smith, DDS
A social letter to his home would be:
Dr. John H. Smith
A joint social letter would be:
Dr. and Mrs. John H. Smith
